  2. Make the Cilantro Lime Dressing by combining all ingredients and whisking until combined. Set aside.

  4. Cook the onions and peppers in a saute pan coated with cooking spray until they begin to soften. 
  5. Add the chicken, toss with the remainder of the fajita seasoning and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through. It will depend on the size of the chicken pieces. Remove from heat.
