First things first, we need to marinate our chicken in a mixture of oil, lemon juice, and spices. This is where the magic happens, folks!
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, and all of the seasonings. Then add the chicken and toss the mixture with a pair of tongs until the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Cover, and refrigerate the meat for at least one hour and up to four hours.

While our chicken is getting its flavor on, let’s heat up a large cast-iron skillet with some oil and sauté the peppers and onions until they’re crisp-tender. Remove them from the pan and keep them warm.
Now it’s time to cook our chicken. Drain the marinade and discard it. In the same cast-iron skillet, cook the chicken over medium-high heat for five to six minutes or until it’s no longer pink. Return the pepper mixture to the pan and heat through.

It’s time to assemble our fajitas Warm some flour tortillas, spoon the filling down the center, and fold them in half. Serve with your favorite toppings, from pico de gallo to avocado, salsa verde, cheese, and sour cream.
For a more traditional service, place the sizzling pan of fajitas directly on the table. Use a hot pad both under the skillet and on the handle to prevent burns.

Store any leftover chicken and vegetable fajitas in an airtight container. They’ll be good in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Here, in the recipe aisle, we love serving our fajitas with a side of black beans, bell peppers, and rice, or a fresh tomato avocado salad.

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to indulge in the most epic chicken fajitas of your life!
