Ingredients (Chicken Fajitas)

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 onion thinly sliced

3 bell peppers thinly sliced

1 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 lime

Ingredients (Fajita Seasoning)

1/2 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 tablespoon ground cumin

1. Add the fajitas seasoning ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir together.

2. Generously sprinkle the fajita seasoning on both sides of the chicken and use your fingers to

press it into the chicken.

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

on each side.

4. While your chicken is cooking, cut the bell peppers and onion into thin slices.

minutes, stirring frequently.

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