chicken breasts boneless (skinless)

olive oil

garlic powder

onion powder

tsp smoked paprika

tsp cumin

tsp black pepper

kosher salt

orange juice

red bell peppers

red onion

lime (1 juiced, and zest

In a small mixing bowl, whisk oil, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, juice of one lemon, zest of one lime, black pepper, and kosher salt.

Place the chicken breasts into a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade mixture over the chicken.

Once finished cooking, remove the chicken from the pot and slice into strips. Add a squeeze of half a lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges.

Serve fajitas in tortillas with your desired toppings.

Super easy to make and definitely the lime juice was an unexpected winner. Simply delicious and the recipe as stated made loads. I had to substitute picked jalapeños for the green chiles as couldn’t get any in my shops. So I diced up a small handful of the jalapeños instead and worked well
