Skinny Chicken Fajitas: Easy To Make & Ready in 30 Minutes!

Skinny Chicken Fajitas in 30 Minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large red bell peppers or 1 red and 1 yellow, cut into slices (about 4 cups)
  • 1 large onion, cut into thin rings (about 2 cups)
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) cut into strips or chunks
  • 1 lemon, juiced, about 2-3 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 (1.27 oz.) package Lawry’s Fajita seasonings mix (do not use directions on package follow instructions, below)
  • ⅓ cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • 8 corn tortillas or corn & whole wheat blend tortillas, see shopping tips

Ingredients for Topping: (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a microwave-safe bowl or large plate, add all sliced peppers and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, until soft.
  • Cut chicken into strips or chunks and place in bowl. Squeeze lemon juice and toss chicken to coat.
  • Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in pan. Add chicken and lemon juice and cook for 3 minutes. Add cooked peppers, onions, seasoning mix, water and mix well. Continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes until chicken is completely cooked. Turn heat down to simmer and continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes until onions are very soft and mixture is very hot.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven for about 5-8 minutes or until heated through. Or, wrap tortillas in plastic wrap and heat in microwave for about 25 seconds.
  • To serve: Spoon ½ cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and let everyone top with their desired toppings. I like to mound mine with lettuce and tomato and eat open-faced with a fork and knife.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled and tripled. It also freezes great!
