Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (59.14 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (453.6 grams)
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into strips
  • 1 small red onion cut into strips
  • tortillas for serving

Instructions

  • In a measuring cup mix together the oil, lime juice, chili powder, salt, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder to make a marinade for the chicken. (Alternatively use 2 tablespoons of Fajita Seasoning with the oil and lime juice.)
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Add the chicken to a reusable container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 24 hours.

  • Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the container and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until the chicken registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant read thermometer.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and cover with foil, letting it rest while you cook the vegetables.
  • Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook for 6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Repeat with the other half of the vegetables.
    1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 small red onion
