Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 2 bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 tsp lime juice
- tortillas to serve
- guacamole to serve
- salsa to serve
Instructions
- First, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. While the oil heats, season the chicken.
- Use a meat mallet to pound out the chicken breast to ½ inch thickness. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and chili powder. Rub this seasoning mix all over the chicken.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned chicken in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Set the chicken aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sliced peppers, and onions to the skillet. Cook over low medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Slice the chicken into long thin strips. Add the chicken back to the pan. Add in the lime juice. Stir together.
- Finally, serve these chicken fajitas with tortillas, guacamole, and salsa if desired.

- Do not skimp on the seasonings. It adds so much flavor!
- We love using our homemade whole wheat tortillas for this recipe. We also love eating the chicken and fajita veggies in a bowl.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. Chicken is considered safe to eat when it has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
