Dip all sliced onions in marinade; shake excess liquid back in bowl, then spread onions over foil lined baking sheet. Once you’ve removed onions, place chicken pieces in marinade.
Spread sliced peppers over onions on baking sheet. Broil onions and peppers on high for 10 minutes until veggies just begin to char. Remove pan from oven.
Place chicken pieces over onions and peppers on baking sheet. Pour any excess marinade over chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle additional salt and pepper over meat to taste.
Broil chicken and vegetables on high for 10 more minutes until chicken is cooked through.Serve while warm with warmed flour tortillas and lime wedges. (Encourage guests to squeeze lime over the fajita mixture before eating.)You may wish to add additional toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole, grated cheese.
