Make the filling
Grab a bowl and add the salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin and dried oregano. Combine until the ingredients are mixed together well. Leave to one side. Prepare the chicken by cutting into strips that are around 3/4" long. Once the chicken is cut, do the same with the onion and the bell peppers and place them all onto your prepared baking sheet. Now drizzle your olive oil over the chicken and veggies and toss to ensure it's evenly coated. Now add your spice blend over the chicken and veggies, again, ensuring each piece is completely coated.

Bake
Place into the center of your preheated oven for around 25-30 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and the veggies should be tender. Remove from oven and add your lime juice all across the dish. Fill up your pitas with the tasty chicken fajita filling, and serve with condiments of your choice, such as Pico de Gallo, sour cream, salsa, cheese, avocado, etc. Enjoy!
