Ingredients

Instructions

Chicken Fajita Seasoning

  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and cumin and mix well. 
  • Set aside. 

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.
