1 Medium Onion thinly sliced
3 Bell Peppers red, yellow and green
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil divided
1 Lime

Fajita Seasoning:

2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

For Serving:

Instructions

Mix together 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper in a small mixing bowl.
Place 3 sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts into a large bowl. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning mixture on top and toss to coat the chicken in the mixture.
Preheat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet.
Add the chicken to the pan (you may have to work in batches depending on the size of your pan) and cook for 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan to a separate plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Stir in 1 thinly sliced medium onion and 3 sliced bell peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the sliced chicken back to the pan and stir to combine with the onions and peppers.
Squeeze the juice from 1 lime on top.
Serve with tortillas, sour cream, pico de gallo, and guacamole, and enjoy!
