CHICKEN FAJITAS

CHICKEN FAJITAS









Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:

1-2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 bell peppers, thinly sliced

2 jalepeƱo peppers, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1 Tablespoon chipotle pepper sauce, more or less to taste


Directions:

Place the dry spices in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Spread the dry mixture over both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in to make sure it coats the chicken.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 7-8 minutes on each side.

Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove it to a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Add the peppers and onion to the same skillet over medium heat and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

When the peppers are just about done sauteing, slice the chicken breasts into strips.

Add the chicken back into the skillet, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and stir everything together.


Notes:

Serve immediately with tortillas and extra toppings such as cilantro, sour cream, pico de gallo and/or guacamole.

Sizzling hot plate for serving is optional and ridiculous.
