Easy Spicy Chicken Fajitas image

An easy, low fat chicken fajita recipe with tons of spice and flavor! I have tweaked it over the past several months and have it the way my fiance and I love it. Any of the spices can be tweaked or omitted to suit your family's preferences. Good served with Spanish or Mexican rice and chips with salsa. I feel it's bold and absolutely delicious.
