Chicken Fajita is a classic Mexican recipe, juicy chicken is seasoned, seared and cooked to perfection, then tossed with sautéed peppers and onions and served with tortilla, guacamole, sour cream and salsa. You can’t beat this healthy family favourite recipe.
Chicken Fajita is a recipe inspired from the Tex-Mex cuisine. I was reading about the origins of fajita (I know! Like we all do!) and came across an interesting translation. ‘Faja’ is the Spanish word for ‘strip’, and, with ‘ita’ added to the end, it means ‘a little strip’, meaning the ingredients for fajitas are always cut into long strips.
This is my weekday cheat dish as it is ready under 30 minutes, healthy and super delicious! It is almost a one pan dish! Loaded with chicken and vegetables this is a healthy, nutritious and protein rich recipe.
It is super easy and really full of flavour, and it makes clean-up in the kitchen a breeze. The key to this recipe is marinating the chicken in the delicious Mexican marinate and cooking all the vegetables at dente.
