Hi there! I'm sharing with you this fast, easy, and yummy recipe that's been a favorite in my family, so I hope you enjoy it too!

Ingredients​

• 1/4 c. lime juice (from about 3 limes)
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. neutral oil
• 2 tsp. ground cumin, divided
• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• Warmed flour tortillas and lime wedges, for serving
  

  Directions

  

  1. Step 1- In a large bowl, whisk lime juice, red pepper, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Season chicken with salt and black pepper, then add to bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Step 2- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Let rest 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. Step 3- Meanwhile, in same skillet over medium heat, combine peppers, onion, and remaining 1 teaspoon cumin; season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and toss until combined.

One thing to consider for improvement is to add some minced garlic and maybe a splash of soy sauce to enhance the flavors. Also, try marinating the chicken for a bit longer for a richer taste... Enjoy your fajitas!

I just tried out this recipe, and it was absolutely amazing! The chicken was so flavorful and tender, and the mix of peppers and onions added the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. Plus, it came together so quickly – perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. I served it with warm tortillas and all the fixings, and my family couldn't get enough.
