Skillet Chicken Fajita Dinner

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Let sit while you prep veggies — a few minutes builds flavor.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and sear 3–4 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through. Remove to a plate.

3. 3

   Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Sauté sliced onion and bell peppers 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly charred at the edges.

4. 4

   Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Return chicken to the skillet, add lime juice and 1/4 cup broth or water if you want a bit of sauce. Toss everything together and cook 1–2 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and flavors meld.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime. Squeeze extra lime over the top for brightness.

7. 7

   Serve hot with warmed tortillas and your favorite toppings — pile the chicken and peppers in the center, add avocado, a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
