Ingredients
  

  • 450 g chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 red capsicum sliced into thin strips
  • 1 yellow capsicum sliced into thin strips
  • 1 brown onion sliced radially into half moons
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with fajita seasoning and use your hands to rub it in.
    450 g chicken breasts, 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and saute for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (I recommend a meat thermometer to check that it reaches 70-75C). Remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
    2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Add the capsicums and onions to the pan. (There should be enough oil in the pan as is, but can add more if needed.) Saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally but not constantly, until soft and browned. Season with salt and pepper.
    1 red capsicum, 1 yellow capsicum, 1 brown onion, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
  • When the peppers and onions are almost done, slice the chicken breasts against the grain. Once the vegetables are done, add the chicken to the skillet, and if desired, squeeze lime juice over the fajitas.
    1 lime
