Ingredients
  

CHICKEN FAJITAS:

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

FAJITA SEASONING:

  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

FOR SERVING:

  • tortillas
  • sour cream
  • pico de gallo
  • avocado

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine all the fajita seasoning ingredients and stir well.
  • Generously coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the seasoning, using your fingers to press it into the meat.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
  • While the chicken cooks, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the same skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • When the vegetables are nearly done, slice the chicken into thin strips.
  • Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, squeeze in some fresh lime juice, and stir everything to combine.
  • Serve immediately with warm tortillas and optional toppings like sour cream, pico de gallo, and guacamole.
