Instructions
Prep the Chicken
- Butterfly the chicken breasts then slice into ½ inch strips.
- Season chicken well with fajita seasoning and 1 tsp. of salt.
- Set chicken aside while cutting the onion and bell peppers.
Prep the Vegetables
- Slice the onion into very thin strips.
- Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers then slice into ¼" wide strips.
Cook the Fajitas
- Heat a heavy bottom pan to medium hot then add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 3 minutes.
- Turn the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add all of the bell peppers and mix well.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes more turning regularly until the chicken is fully cooked and the peppers are cooked but still have just a bit of a crunch to them.
- Warm the tortillas while the fajitas are cooking.
Serving
- Place 2 or 3 warm tortillas on each plate. Fill each tortilla with a portion of the fajitas then top with Mexican cream, a good salsa, and a squirt of lime juice if you'd like.
Notes
- Substitutions
- Storage
- If you are unable to find all four colors of the peppers you can use any combination of peppers.
- Chicken fajitas keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. We prefer not to freeze them because the bell peppers get mushy when frozen but if you do want to freeze them they will still be delicious.
