What’s in this Chicken Fajita Recipe?
With its bold flavors and dazzling presentation, Chicken Fajitas make any meal more festive and memorable. This chicken dish is easy to make with these simple ingredients.
Chicken Breasts: Skinless and boneless chicken breasts are delicious and make for a healthier option. Vegetable Oil: For the marinade, I have started using this all-purpose vegetable oil by Happy Belly. Spices: Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Mexican oregano, salt, and pepper give these fajitas their classic flavor. Yellow Onion: There is nothing tastier with bell peppers than a caramelized onion! Bell Pepper: This super nutritious summer vegetable adds lovely color, texture, and flavor to the fajita recipe. Flour Tortillas: Soft and pliable, these tortillas pair perfectly with the seasoned grilled chicken and veggies.
Pro Tip: In place of all of the spices, you could use about 3½ tablespoons of store-bought or homemade fajita seasoning.
Variations on Fajita Chicken
There are many ways to change up this chicken to better suit your tastes. You could swap the chicken breasts for chicken thighs or even turkey. If you don’t love fajita seasoning, try using taco seasoning instead. The yellow onion can be swapped for a white, sweet, or red onion, and you can use any color or combination of colors of bell peppers! Try swapping the flour tortillas for corn or cassava flour tortillas, or skip the tortillas altogether and serve this chicken on top of pasta, salad, or rice!
