Ingredients Needed:

Chicken Fajitas:

• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ lime

Fajita Seasoning:

• ½ tablespoon chili powder
• ½ tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

How To Make Chicken Fajitas Recipe?

1. Make Fajita Seasoning: Mix 7g chili powder, 7g ground cumin, 3g garlic powder, 2g paprika, 1g oregano, 3g kosher salt, and 1g black pepper in a small bowl.
2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the seasoning generously on both sides of 450g chicken breasts and press it in with your fingers.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 30ml olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
4. Slice the Veggies: While the chicken is cooking, thinly slice 3 bell peppers and 1 onion.
5. Cook the Veggies: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest. In the same pan, add the sliced bell peppers and onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft.
6. Slice the Chicken: When the vegetables are almost done, slice the chicken into strips, or cut the strips in half into thinner pieces.
7. Mix and Serve: Add the chicken back into the skillet, squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the top, and stir everything together. Serve with tortillas and toppings like sour cream, pico de gallo, and avocado.

Recipe Tips:

• Marinate the Chicken: Let the chicken sit in the seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking to bring out extra flavor.
• Use High Heat: Sear the chicken on medium-high heat for a nice golden crust.
• Slice the Veggies Thinly: Thin slices of peppers and onions cook quicker and become perfectly tender.
• Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
• Add Lime at the End: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and veggies just before serving to keep the flavors fresh and bright.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Freeze: Freeze Chicken Fajitas for up to 2 months. After they cool, put them in a freezer bag or airtight container.
• Reheat: Heat a little oil in a skillet on medium heat and stir the fajitas for 5-7 minutes until hot.
