Chicken Fajitas

INGREDIENTS

• 2 chicken breasts

• 1 onion, thinly sliced

• 2 mild to medium peppers, thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/2 lime

  FAJITA SEASONING

• ¼ tablespoon chili powder

• ¼ tablespoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ¼  teaspoon paprika

• ¼ teaspoon oregano

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon pepper

  FOR SERVING

• tortillas

• sour cream

• pico de gallo or salsa of your choice

• avocado

• cilantro, to garnish

Directions:

1. Add the fajitas seasoning ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir together.

2. Generously sprinkle the fajita seasoning on both sides of the chicken and use your fingers to press it into the chicken.

3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 7-8 minutes on each side. Check chicken temperature to ensure it has cooked all the way (165º)

4. While your chicken is cooking, cut the bell peppers and onion into thin slices.

5. Once the chicken has finished cooking, transfer to a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Add the peppers and onion to the same skillet over medium heat and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

6. When the bell peppers are soft with just a little crunch, slice the chicken breasts into strips.

7. Add the chicken back into the skillet, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and stir everything together.

8. Serve immediately with tortillas and extra toppings such as sour cream, pico de gallo/salsa, cilantro and/or guacamole.
