Chicken Fajitas make for an incredible feast day when you are hosting. Make a large batch, keep it in a warmer and have everyone make their version of the meal. 

How to Make Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Fajitas are so easy to make. All you need to do is to prep the ingredients and put them all together! Follow the steps below to make Chicken Fajitas.

• Combine the seasonings in a bowl.
• Cut chicken into strips and season.
• Cook the chicken in a hot pan until sizzling, set aside.
• Slice up the onions and peppers, cook until sizzling.
• Add the chicken back into the pan, drizzle with lime juice and serve with flour tortillas!

Serving Chicken Fajitas

My favorite way to serve Chicken Fajitas is with homemade tortillas. Once the Chicken Fajitas are mixed and ready, scoop some onto a warm tortilla and wrap it up. The bigger the tortilla the more filling you can fit!

If tortillas are not your thing, Chicken Fajitas go very well with a side of rice and beans. Add fresh avocado and tomatoes for a boost of nutrients and flavor. For an extra spice to your Chicken Fajitas, top it with pickled onions or pickled jalapeños.

Make it fun by adding a variety of sauces! Try the classic guacamole, salsa, sour cream or pico de gallo.

Making Chicken Fajitas in Advance 

Preparing Chicken Fajitas can be done in advance so it’s perfect for meal planning. You can double or triple the recipe without any extra work.

Prepare the chicken as indicated in the recipe and place in a sealed container. Do the same thing with the veggies, and place them in a separate container. These can stay in the fridge for up to 5 days. Once you are ready to serve, combine both chicken and veggies in a heated skillet.
