Pour 1/3 over chicken, 1/3 over vegetables and reserve the remainder in the jar for using when cooking the chicken fajitas. Seal the bags tightly and refrigerate for one hour to overnight.

When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour vegetable bag into the skillet and cook until just tender crisp, about 5 minutes.

Chicken Fajitas (Easy u0026amp; Flavorful)

canola oil, divided

oregano

garlic powder

paprika

red pepper flakes, optional

-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

sweet red pepper,

green pepper,

green onions, thinly sliced

onion, chopped

(8-inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Combine 2 tablespoons of oil with the lemon juice and seasonings in a large bowl. Mix well.

Place the chicken strips in the oil and seasoning mixture. Ensure all sides are covered in the marinade. Cover the chicken, and place it in the fridge to marinate for 1 to 4 hours.

Add the final 2 tablespoons of oil to a heavy skillet. Sauté the peppers and onions in the oil until they’re just barely tender. Remove them from heat, and cover them to keep them warm.

Remove the chicken from the fridge. Drain it and throw away the excess marinade. Transfer the chicken to the oiled skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes over medium-high heat. It should have no pinkness left.

Return the peppers and onions to the skillet with the chicken. Allow everything to heat through completely.

Transfer the cooked filling to warm tortillas.

Add any optional toppings. Then fold the tortillas in half, serve immediately, and enjoy!
