Chef’s Quick Chicken Fajitas

(Serves 6)

Ingredients

Fajitas:

• 1 lime
• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 3 bell peppers (green and colored) , thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  

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
  

Optional for serving:

• Low carb tortillas
• Sour cream
• Pico de Gallo
• Avocado
  

Instructions

1. Add the fajitas seasoning ingredients to a large mixing bowl and combine.
2. Take your chicken breasts and cut them into 3 or 4 inch long pieces and set them aside. They should look like chicken tenderloins.
3. Add chicken to the bowl of fajita seasoning and mix until completely covered.
4. Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the sliced chicken for about 7-8 minutes, being sure to turn over a few times while cooking.
5. While your chicken is cooking, cut the bell peppers and onion into thin slices.
6. Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove it to a plate and let it rest. Add the bell peppers and onion to the same skillet over medium heat and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
7. Once peppers and onions are ready, add the chicken back into the skillet, add the juice of one lime and stir everything together.
8. Serve immediately with tortillas and extra toppings such as sour cream, Pico de Gallo and guacamole.
