Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in the olive oil.
  3. Add the sliced chicken to the pan, season with salt, pepper, and half of the fajita seasoning. Cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 7 minutes).

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for up to two months.
