These easy chicken fajitas feature juicy seasoned chicken with tender bell peppers and onions, all cooked in one skillet. Perfect for a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 medium onion, sliced radially into half moons
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Lime wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the fajita seasoning, rubbing it in evenly.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  3. Add the bell peppers and onion to the same skillet. If needed, add a little more oil. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned. Season with the sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Slice the chicken against the grain. Return it to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajitas if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve with warm tortillas, rice, or lettuce wraps.
  • Top with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts.
