Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts ((sliced into thin, 1" strips))
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper ((sliced into thin strips))
- 1 green bell pepper ((sliced into thin strips))
- 1 yellow bell pepper ((sliced into thin strips))
- 1 onion ((sliced into thin strips))
- Sour cream, guacamole, a drizzle of extra lime juice, cheese, salsa, tortillas, etc.

Instructions
1. [Marinate the Chicken] Cut chicken breasts into thin strips 1 inch long (2.54 cm).
2. [Marinate the Chicken] In a medium bowl whisk together lime juice, olive oil and minced garlic, add chicken and stir to coat.
3. [Marinate the Chicken] In a small bowl combine spices and stir to combine.
4. [Marinate the Chicken] Add the fajita seasoning to the chicken and turn to coat. Cover the bowl and marinate chicken for at least 1 hour at room temperature or longer in the refrigerator. Make sure to remove chicken from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before cooking so it is not too cold when cooked (this will help it brown quickly).
5. [Cook the Fajitas] Drain any excess liquid from the marinated chicken.
6. [Cook the Fajitas] Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet until shimmering (NOTE: you do not want to over-crowd the skillet. If you only have a smaller skillet (10” or less) then you will need to cook these fajitas in two batches. Keep the first batch warm in the oven while making the second. It’s important the chicken is in a single layer and the pan is heated up with the oil to brown the meat).
7. [Cook the Fajitas] Add chicken, onions and garlic and cook over medium-high heat until chicken is browned, stirring occasionally.
8. [Cook the Fajitas] Add peppers and remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil.
9. [Cook the Fajitas] Cook over high heat until seared/browned (3-5 minutes). If necessary, add more olive oil to brown the fajitas.
10. [Cook the Fajitas] Serve immediately.
