Chicken Fajitas

Total Time: 30 Mins

Prep: 10 mins

Cook: 20 mins

Yield: 4-5 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

DIRECTIONS:

In a large sauté pan, over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and wait until it’s hot before throwing in your onions. Sauté the onions until they are golden brown (this will give it a nice nutty rich flavor to your sauce). Once onions are browned add in your bell peppers, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Once the bell peppers have softened add in the minced garlic and sauté for less than a minute (you never want to brown your garlic for it will become bitter).

You can cook your chicken ahead of time or use left over chicken you may have and just shred it with a fork into long strips.

In the same pan throw in your shredded chicken and top with the lemon pepper seasoning. Sauté all the ingredients for another 2 minutes.

Warm up some tortillas, sprinkled with some cheese, a side of avocado, your fajitas mix and to make it even more tasty try topping it with some of that homemade Chimichurri (click for recipe). Bon Appetit!
