This Chicken Fajita Breakfast Skillet is just like the one I used to serve at Denny’s when I worked there back in the day. It’s lightened up with crisp, easy roasted potatoes, and tender pan-grilled chicken. An awesome meal for breakfast or dinner!

yellow onion, (diced)

red bell pepper, (stemmed, seeds removed, and chopped)

yellow or orange bell pepper, (stemmed, seeds removed, and chopped)

garlic, (minced)

(10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles

Cook the Chicken. Heat the olive oil in a deep 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables. Add the onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the Seasonings. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring to coat the vegetables in the spices.

Add the Rice and Liquid. Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chiles, including the juices, rinsed rice, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

Simmer. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, maintaining a steady simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. If the rice isn&#39;t quite tender and the skillet looks dry, add a few tablespoons of additional chicken broth as needed.

Finish the Skillet. Stir the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Add the lime juice and chopped cilantro and stir to combine. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Add the Cheese. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve. Garnish with additional cilantro and serve warm with lime wedges, avocado, sour cream, or your favorite fajita toppings, if desired.
