Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare your baking dish by greasing it lightly.
Combine the pounded chicken breasts with oil and fajita seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
Layer the well-seasoned chicken evenly across the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
Thinly slice the bell peppers and onions and scatter them over the chicken.
Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the layers of chicken and vegetables.
