Chicken Fajitas
March 8th, 2010 by katie
We love fajitas, tacos, and anything else you can roll up in a tortilla. Chicken fajitas are great because you don’t have to remember to marinate them ahead and they only take a few minutes to cook.
Chicken Fajitas
serves 4, prep 10 min, cook 20 min- 2 tbsp oil
- juice from 1/2 large lime (about 2 tbsp)
- 2 tsp chili powder (I used 1 tsp ancho and 1 tsp chipotle and they were medium-spicy)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp mexican oregano
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1-2 tbsp oil
- 3 large bell peppers, red, yellow, and orange
- 1 large red onion
- salt and pepper
- In a large zip-top plastic bag combine oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and chicken breasts. Seal bag and shake and squish to thoroughly coat chicken.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onion to hot oil and saute until soft and caramelized. Salt to taste.
- While veggies are caramelizing, heat grill, grill pan, or frying pan.
- Remove chicken from bag and grill or sear until cooked all the way through.
- Slice chicken and serve with warm tortillas, peppers, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo and/or guacamole.

My hubby just asked for fajitas last night…this looks so good and healthy! What really caught my eye is that cute jarful of pico in the back!

Tried these this week. They were awesome. It ended up being too windy to grill, so we just cooked the chicken on the stove. It was delicious the first time and as leftovers. Thanks for a great recipe.

I love your chicken legs and lime/coconut chicken. Thanks for awesome recipes! I just wanted to say that I used this marinade on sirloin steak to use in homemade burrito bowls, and it was great! I didn’t have any Mexican oregano, so I used cilantro. Love the simple, on-hand ingredients and great taste!
