Place the chicken breast into a 1 gallon zip-top bag and pour 3/4 of the spice mixture into the bag, reserving 1/4 of the sauce. Add 1-2 tbsp cilantro and 1-2 tsp lime juice. Close the bag and spread the mixture to evenly coat the chicken. Let set in refrigertor for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut the broccoli florest off the stalks and place into the bowl with the squash.
• Clean and dry the squash and zucchini. Cut the squash and zucchini on the bias (at an angle) into slices about 1/4 inch thick and place into a container or bowl with a lid.
• If using a spice blend, mix 1-2 tbsp fajita spices, 2 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp cilantro, and 2 tsp lime juice and a small bowl and pour over vegetables.
