Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the chicken, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, fajita seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
3
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Add the chopped cilantro and cook for an additional minute.
4
Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the fajitas by slicing the cooked chicken into thin strips and adding it to the skillet with the bell peppers and onions. Serve the fajitas hot, with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
