Easy Chicken Fajita Delight

Step 1: Slice the Chicken

• Take 2 chicken breasts and cut each one in half horizontally to create two thinner pieces per breast. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.

Step 2: Prepare the Marinade

• In a medium-sized bowl, add 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp chili powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp cumin powder, and ½ tsp black pepper.
• Mix well until all the spices are evenly combined and the marinade is smooth.

Step 3: Marinate the Chicken

• Place the chicken slices into the bowl with the marinade.
• Toss the chicken in the marinade until each piece is well-coated.
• Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps the chicken absorb the flavors.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken

• Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken slices to the pan.
• Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
• Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest for a few minutes.
• Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces after it has cooled slightly.

Step 5: Sauté the Vegetables

• While the chicken is cooking, slice 1 red bell pepper, 1 green capsicum (bell pepper), and 1 white onion into thin strips.
• In the same pan (you can add a little more oil if needed), add the sliced vegetables and sauté them over medium heat.
• Stir occasionally and cook for 2-4 minutes, until the vegetables soften but still have some crunch.

Step 6: Combine Chicken and Veggies

• Once the vegetables are cooked, add the chicken pieces back into the pan with the vegetables.
• Sprinkle ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper over the mixture to taste.
• Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

• Once the chicken and vegetables are well-mixed and heated through, remove from the pan.
• Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture hot, either in warm tortillas or over rice, and enjoy your flavorful chicken fajitas!
