Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers (any colour), diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 1 head of Bibb or butter lettuce, separated into individual leaves

Instructions:
