Chicken Fajita Skillet 


  • Author: Anna Franklin

Description

Dinner has never been so easy and delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 packet store bought fajita seasoning (we used McCormick Organic Fajita Seasoning Mix)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

For garnish: 

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges
  • Sour cream
  • Store bought pico de gallo

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. In a ziplock bag, add chicken breast, fajita seasoning packet, salt, and olive oil. Toss around until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 24 hours.
  3. In a cast iron skillet over high heat, add the chicken to the pan and sear until a nice crust is formed on the outside of each chicken breast. At this point the chicken shouldn’t be fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add you sliced vegetables to the hot pan that was used for cooking the chicken. Sauté until slightly tender.
  5. Add the chicken breast back to the pan and bake in the oven for roughly 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove from the oven and slice chicken before serving and garnish with sliced avocado, lime and sprigs of cilantro.
  7. Serve with sour cream and store bought pico de gallo.
