Chicken Fajitas

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon olive oil

  (extra virgin)
• ½ medium red bell pepper

  (julienned)
• ½ medium green bell pepper

  (julienned)
• ½ large white onion

  (sliced)
• 1 lb chicken breast

  (boneless, skinless, and sliced into strips)
• 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning

  (see recipe or use your favorite brand)
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  (optional)
• 1 large lime

  (optional, for juice)
• 1 tablespoon cilantro

  (optional, chopped for garnish)
• 4 green onions

  (optional, chopped for garnish)

Instructions

• 1 Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron skillet or another heavy-bottomed skillet
  and heat it over medium-high heat.
• 2 Once the oil is hot, add the bell peppers and onions and saute until
  crisp-tender. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
• 3 Place the sliced chicken into the skillet and season with fajita seasoning and
  the optional red pepper flakes, if using. Stir to coat the meat and cook the
  chicken until no pink remains (it should have an internal temperature of
  165°F/74°C).
• 4 Add the peppers and onions back to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until
  the peppers and onions are hot, then squeeze a drizzle of lime juice on top, if
  desired.
• 5 Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve
  immediately while hot.
