A fantastically easy Friday night (or any other night) dinner idea - these chicken fajitas make everyone happy!

This is one of those recipes I’ve tweaked over time. The first version I published back in 2015 was made healthier than your average copycat takeaway with the addition of lots of broccoli and mangetout (snow peas).
