How To Make Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Fajitas Recipe. A traditional Mexican dish full of colour and flavour- a real favourite with everyone! Try our Chicken Fajitas recipe.

You Will Need

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 limes
  • Half Tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Half tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 2 onions
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 orange pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • Parsley for garnishing
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 plate or small tray
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 large frying pan or griddle
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 grater
  • 1 fork

Step 1:

Chop the vegetables

De-seed the 3 different coloured peppers. Thinly slice them and the onions and put them aside on a plate.

Step 2:

Prepare the chicken

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 3cm long.

Step 3:

Make the marinade

Grate the rind of one of the limes into a bowl then squeeze the juice from both. Into this, add the caster sugar, oregano, cayenne, cinnamon and season with salt and pepper. Mix together well.

Step 4:

Marinate the chicken

Add the chicken strips and mix until all the pieces are coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes – however, the longer you can leave it, the more the juices will soak in.

Step 5:

Cook the chicken

Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over a high temperature until smoking hot. Add the chicken and the marinade and cook until tender. This will take approximately 4-5 minutes.

Step 6:

Add the vegetables

Stir in the peppers and onions and cook for 3 more minutes until the vegetables are soft. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 7:

Garnish and serve

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the Mexican way. Put the chicken mixture into a warmed floury-tortilla, then add a spoonful of guacamole, sour cream and tomato salsa and roll it up.

I made this for a dinner with friends for the first time last week - and it was really good! Lovely with sour cream. I thought the limes would make it taste a bit funny but in actual fact it tasted really good!

It was great but leave out the Lime, it's too overpowering.

This is basically the same as how I make it. But I've picked up your method of juicing the limes with a fork from this - very useful! I usually cook fajitas for my friends since it's a very sociable food: put everything in the middle of the table and everyone assembles the fajitas themselves... you just have to watch out for the fat ones who go straight for all the chicken and leave out the vegetables!
