Asparagus Chicken Fajitas

I made this for dinner tonight and I loved it! The rest of my family prefers regular fajitas but I really liked the addition of asparagus and yellow pepper and corn. It was a fast meal as I already had the chicken marinated and grilled, frozen ready to use. Dinner was on the table in under 30 minutes.
