Chicken Fajitas
- Slice chicken breasts into long, thin strips and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on medium until extremely hot (but not smoking).
- Add oil to pan and swirl around until shimmery.
- Add chicken to pan and let brown, stirring often. Chicken should cook quickly if heat is high enough, so stir often to prevent sticking or burning.
- When chicken is browned (after about 2 minutes) - but not cooked through - add onions and peppers.
- Let chicken, peppers, and onions cook until vegetables are browned and soft and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle seasoning mix over chicken and vegetables and stir to coat, adding lime juice to help coat. Add up to 2 tbsp water if needed to spread seasoning more evenly.
- Turn off heat and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.
