Instructions
- 01
Combine the marinade ingredients and place in sealed bag with the chicken. Place the bag in a bowl in case it leaks. Marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours but preferably overnight.
- 02
The next day remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large cast iron pan to medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of neutral oil. Once the oil is hot, add the peppers and onions and saute until moderately soft and charred. Add 1 tablespoon of the fajita spice and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the peppers and onions to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- 03
Pat the chicken dry one more time and sprinkle the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning.
- 04
Add more oil to the pan if needed and once it is very hot, add the chicken strips. Spread them out and leave undisturbed for 4 minutes. Flip the pieces and cook the other sides until well charred and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Move the chicken to one side of the pan and place the peppers and onions back on the other side. Remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!
