Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the fajita seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

If you don't have fajita seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt.

To prevent the vegetables from burning, make sure they are cut into similar sizes.

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the fajita seasoning or use a jalapeño pepper along with the bell peppers.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
