Marinate the chicken with lime juice, and season with chile powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin.

To grill the onions and peppers outside on the grill, use a cast iron skillet and grill covered over medium heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Or, to cook them indoors, you can use a large skillet on the stove over medium heat for 16 to 18 minutes, covered until the onions and peppers are soft.

Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium heat; grill chicken until cooked through, about 8 minutes on each side.

Transfer to a cutting board when done and cut into strips. Once cooked, combine with the peppers and onions.

Serve immediately with warmed tortillas, cheese and toppings.

Authentic Mexican Chicken Fajitas {Fajitas De Pollo}

chicken breasts ((about 3 large chicken breasts))

onion (thinly sliced)

lime

large bell peppers (red, yellow and green, sliced)

olive oil (divided)

chili powder

smoked paprika

onion powder

oregano

salt and black pepper

tortillas

sour cream yogurt

cilantro

In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken breast, one tablespoon olive oil, juice of half a lime and the fajita seasoning spices. Toss the chicken until it&#39;s evenly coated in the oil and spices. If you have the time, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

When ready to cook, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium high in a large non-stick heavy bottomed or cast iron skillet. Add half of the chicken strips and cook until just cooked, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken. Set chicken aside in a bowl or on a plate.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add sliced onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add in sliced peppers and cook an additional 2-4 minutes or until they start to soften.

Add chicken back to the pan and toss to combine.

Squeeze additional lime juice over the mixture.

Serve warm over tortillas with desired toppings.

Super easy and so delicious,  I double the marinade and added quartered roma tomatoes. Served charro beans and lime rice along side.Thank you for a plate of happiness .

I just made these with a couple of modifications. I actually doubled the spices and olive oil for the marinade. The only other change was that I added Roma tomatoes cut into lengthwise wedges to my iron skillet along with the bell peppers…absolutely delicious!

I made this without the chicken. I think it needs more vegetables if you're going to do that maybe some mushrooms yellow peppers. also I used a knife to ream the limes. I wouldn't do that again it came out very sour. but overall this was genius rubbing the seasonings and oils into the vegetables with your hands and letting that marinade with the lime juice. that is the secret to authentic Mexican fajitas. mine never came out right the way they are at the restaurant and that is why. I'm looking forward to making this again with chicken and without the lime flesh. Also I did not use salt because of dietary reasons. I'm sure it tastes amazing with the salt. thank you for sharing this this one recipe I'm writing down on a card.

These authentic chicken fajitas are a burst of flavor with tender chicken, perfectly seared veggies, and a medley of spices. Outstanding

Made these tonight 😋 Delicious 🤤 Thank you for such a great recipe!!  I will put this in my repertoire

Great!!!!!
Taste just like the ones in Mexico!

My family loves these fajitas..I make them at least every couple of weeks. They're so flavorful and easy! Thanks for the great recipe!
