The best Chicken Fajitas
These Tangy Marinated Chicken Fajitas are marinated in a simple marinade then cooked to perfection in a skillet.
The onions and peppers are also marinated with the chicken for the ultimate flavor combination! Serve in traditional flour or corn tortillas or wrap in a lettuce leaf for a low carb option.
Chicken Fajita Marinade
A flavorful marinade is what makes these chicken fajitas so good! This easy marinade is made with vinegar, lime juice and Italian dressing mix.
These ingredients are great to keep on hand for a quick, flavorful marinade.
How To Make Marinated Chicken Fajitas:
These Tangy Chicken Fajitas are marinated to ensure juicy, flavorful chicken, peppers and onions.
Place cubed chicken, sliced onion and sliced green pepper in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together vinegar, lime juice and salad dressing mix.
Pour over chicken and vegetables and seal bag. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
After chicken and vegetables have marinated, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and saute until vegetables are soft and chicken is cooked through.
I simply pour the entire bag of chicken, vegetables and marinade into the skillet. Some of the marinade will still be left in the skillet after cooking, so using tongs or a slotted spoon to get the chicken out of the pan will work best.
Serve chicken and vegetables in tortillas and top with sour cream, cilantro and salsa.
