Chicken Fajitas

I was having trouble thinking of a good recipe to post. I kept on listing 5 random ingredients to try and come up with a dish. Then I realized that I had all the fixings to make chicken fajitas. To keep it healthier, I served the fajitas with whole wheat tortilla and non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
