Oven Chicken Fajitas Twist
Quick, hands-on fajitas for oven-pizza heat. Toss sliced chicken thighs with smoky chipotle powder and cumin. Bell pepper and red onion, but swap in poblano for a subtle earthiness. Olive oil replaces veg oil, gives richer mouthfeel. Cook in preheated cast-iron skillet until chicken crisps edges, veggies soften with slight char.

Simple, vivid, no fuss. Watch the bubbles and sizzle for doneness cues. Great for easy entertaining, zero standing over stove.
