Chicken Fajitas!!
I made this for a quick dinner so the portion is smaller but I’ve made this several times as a meal prep:
• Slice & sauté a few bell peppers and a small onion
• Once the onions are done, set in a bowl and cover with foil
• Cook the chicken in the same pan that the peppers and onions were cooked in. Make sure the internal temp for the chicken is 165° **the chicken was marinated in a fajita sauce (I got a package of fajita chicken from Wegmans) - you can also get a fajita seasoning to mix with the chicken**
You can also do this in a crock pot: throw everything in a crockpot and let cook for 2-3 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low.
Feel free to serve over rice in a bowl or in a tortilla. I pretty much just had the tortilla, chicken, onions & peppers and some Colby jack cheese - so delicious

Chicken fajitas are a versatile dish that can be customized to your taste. Not only are they quick to prepare, making them an excellent choice for weeknight dinners, but they can also be made in bulk for meal prepping. To enhance your fajitas, consider adding a variety of seasonings such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic for an extra flavor boost. You can also experiment with different types of peppers—like jalapeños for heat or sweet red peppers for color and sweetness. For a healthier alternative, serve your chicken fajitas over quinoa instead of rice or wrap them in lettuce leaves instead of tortillas. This way, you enjoy a delicious meal that’s also low in carbs. Don't forget about the toppings! Fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime can elevate your chicken fajitas, adding freshness and zest. If you're looking for something extra, consider making a simple pico de gallo or a creamy guacamole to serve on the side. This recipe is not just about making a meal; it’s about creating a moment of joy, bringing friends and family together over a delicious dish. So gather your ingredients, fire up that skillet, and enjoy scrumptious chicken fajitas any night of the week!
Loveee fajitas!
