Chicken Fajitas in less than 20 minutes! One chicken breast cooked in a skillet, sliced and served with sweet onions, crisp peppers, cheese & tortillas. So easy and so delicious!
Melt Butter: Heat your skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter for about 30 seconds.
Season and Cook Chicken: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon of pepper. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes, or until it's fully cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate, cover it, and set it aside.
Sauté Vegetables: Add a bit of olive oil to the same skillet. Toss in the onions and peppers, and season with the remaining salt and pepper. Cook while stirring frequently for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together for about 1 minute to heat through. Then, spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the warm tortillas.
Serve: Your Chicken Fajitas are ready to be enjoyed immediately!
Notes
Separate Cooking: For the best texture and flavor, cook the chicken and vegetables separately. This method ensures that each component is cooked to perfection.
Pepper Variety: Feel free to use any combination of bell peppers that you like. Add more for a more vibrant and colorful dish.
Uniform Slicing: Cut the onions and peppers into roughly equal sizes. This uniformity helps them cook evenly and at the same pace.
Simple Seasoning: A few key ingredients like jalapeños, lime juice, and extra garlic can greatly enhance the flavor. You don't need a lot of fancy spices to make these fajitas stand out.
Pineapple Addition: For a unique twist, add small chunks of pineapple to your fajitas. It brings a delightful sweetness and freshness to the dish.
How To Warm TortillasFor the best results, warm your tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. This method brings out their flavor and makes them more pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.
