These Easy Chicken Fajitas are the perfect way to get a delicious and healthy meal on the table in minutes! A very simple marinade adds amazing flavor! These are the BEST chicken fajitas, and the marinade is seriously the best I've ever tried. Better than any restaurant!
Cut chicken in half horizontally to form 2 portions. If thicker than ½-inch, pound to even thickness.
Place chicken in bowl with homemade seasoning, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet.
When skillet is hot, add half the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until nicely charred. Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Scrape remaining bits out of skillet for re-use. Turn heat to medium, heat remaining oil in skillet until smoking. (Also, remember never to put out grease fire with water! Use baking soda!)
Reduce heat. Add bell peppers and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly blackened, but still slightly crisp. When it starts to sweat, sprinkle with salt & pepper. Remove from heat.
Slice chicken thinly and return to skillet with onions and pepper for serving.
Serve in flour tortillas with all your favorite toppings.
Notes
Even more than the fajitas themselves, I love loading them up with my favorite toppings. Here are some suggestions:
The nutrition facts are for one portion of the chicken fajitas in a flour tortilla with no toppings. For a lighter option, try using a leaf of lettuce for a lettuce taco wrap (then you can use those calories for toppings!)
