Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast, olive oil, and fajita seasoning. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator.

Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F). Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
