One pan meals take the stress out of all the dishes you acquire when cooking. These one pan fajitas are easy to prepare and are ready to eat in under 30 minutes. Fajitas are a delicious way to get more protein (from the chicken) into your diet. Our organs, tissues, muscles and hormones are all made from proteins.
