Chicken Fajitas

Down the reddit /r/food rabbit hole...  This is the first of a couple cheap & easy dishes:

Recipe

1 large onion
2-3 bell peppers (various colors)
1 lb chicken breast
1 lime
2 tbsp oil

Seasoning
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Mix the seasonings together.  Slice the onion, pepper, and chicken into thin slices, and place in a casserole dish.  Sprinkle the seasoning mixture and drizzle the oil over, and mix together until well coated.  Bake for 35-40 minutes at 400 degrees, mixing again halfway through.  Squeeze the juice from half of a lime over everything, and fix as desired - over rice, in tortillas, with sour cream or cheese, whatever.

Notes

This is super easy and, as per the website, cheap.  One main cutting board and dish.  And you don't seem to sacrifice flavor or texture by baking it instead of doing it up in a skillet.  Excellent to do as a big batch for some leftovers too.
