Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fajita seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortillas for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing chicken breast into thin strips, cutting bell pepper into uniform strips, and thinly slicing the onion.
- Season the chicken strips with fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
- Add the seasoned chicken strips to the hot pan, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking and proper browning.
- Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside on a clean plate, keeping it warm.
- In the same pan, add sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they become slightly tender and start to caramelize.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables and toss together to combine and reheat.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a separate pan or microwave just before serving.
- Serve the hot chicken and vegetable mixture immediately with warm tortillas, allowing each person to create their own fajitas.
Tips
- Use high-quality, fresh chicken breast and slice it against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Let the chicken sit with seasoning for 10-15 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor penetration.
- Ensure your skillet is hot before adding chicken to achieve that perfect golden-brown sear.
- Don't overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary to get proper caramelization.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.
- Warm tortillas just before serving to keep them soft and pliable.
- Experiment with additional toppings like fresh cilantro, sour cream, or guacamole for added depth.
