Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 3 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
  • Optional toppings: avocado salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, jalapenos, pico de gallo

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning.
  • Slice the bell peppers and onion into strips. Place them in a separate bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through (165°F/74°C).
  • Add the sliced peppers and onions to the grill or grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
  • Divide the cooked rice or quinoa evenly among bowls. Top with the grilled vegetables and sliced chicken.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the chicken in the fajita seasoning for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less fajita seasoning.
  • Feel free to use other vegetables, such as zucchini or mushrooms.
  • Serve with warm tortillas for a traditional fajita experience.
