Prepare the Chicken
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast and cut it into thin strips.

Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken strips, olive oil, and fajita seasoning. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).

Grill the Chicken

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
