Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 poblano peppers, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 tortillas

  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss everything together.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs stay extra juicy and flavorful in fajitas.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for more heat.
  • Use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a lower-carb option.
  • Grilling the chicken and vegetables adds extra smoky flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with rice, beans, guacamole, or chips and salsa for a complete meal.
