Chicken Marinade

Vegetables

Method

Marinate Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Prepare Vegetables

  1. 3

    Slice the Vegetables

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

Cook Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Heat the Skillet

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil if needed and heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  4. 7

    Slice the Chicken

    After resting, slice the chicken into strips and return it to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.

Serve

  1. 8

    Assemble the Fajitas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture.

  2. 9

    Add Toppings

    Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, and fresh cilantro if desired.

  3. 10

    Enjoy!

    Fold the tortillas and serve immediately for a delicious meal.
