Chicken Fajita Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, olive oil, fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Platter

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. On a large serving platter, arrange the chicken strips, sautéed vegetables, and flour tortillas. Add bowls of sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro on the side. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the fajitas.
