We are finally getting a steady amount of bell peppers out of the garden and what better way to celebrate than to have fajitas. I know it is very popular to just use a fajita dinner kit, but it was so easy to make using ingredients I already had on hand. The chicken actually gets a little time to marinade in the seasonings which I think gives it a wonderful flavor.
Chicken Fajitas
4 tablespoons canola oil, divide
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1/2 medium sweet red pepper, sliced
1/2 medium green pepper, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
6 flour tortillas, warmed
In a large resealable plastic bag combine 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice and seasoning. Add the chicken, seal, and coat in the mixture. Refrigerate 1-4 hours.
Cook peppers and onions in oil until slightly tender. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
In the same skillet , over medium-high heat, cook the chicken until no longer pink. Approx. 5-6 minutes. Return peppers to the pan and heat through.
Serve with tortillas and your favorite fajita toppings.
