Grilled Chicken Fajitas
Grilled Chicken Fajitas are always a family favorite! Delicious marinated and grilled chicken topped with caramelized veggies and your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
For the chicken marinade:
- 1 lb chicken, cut into thin slices
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 packet of fajita seasoning (or 1 1/2 tbsp of homemade seasoning)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the fajitas:
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- Optional: shredded cheese, sliced avocados, guacamole, salsa, any other taco toppings
Instructions
For the marinade:
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add it to a large, resealable bag.
- Add the olive oil, fajita seasoning, and lime juice to the bag, seal it, and mix it around so all the chicken is coated.
For the fajitas:
- Heat a large skillet of medium/high heat and add 2 rounds of olive oil to the pan.
- When it is hot, add the vegetables to the pan. Leave the veggies alone, not touching them for 8-10 minutes while they caramelize. Once they have browned on one side, flip them over and caramelize the other side. When all the veggies are browned, add them to a large serving platter.
- While the veggies are cooking, heat your indoor or outdoor grill to medium/high heat. Add your chicken to a grill mat if using an outdoor grill. When the grill is hot, add the chicken to the grill (on a grill mat if using outdoor grill). Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes and then flip to brown the other side.
- When the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and add it to the platter with the grilled vegetables. Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings.
