Hi y’all and Happy New Year!!! Today I wanted to share a quick and easy recipe that my family absolutely loved. It took no time to throw together so it’s perfect for weekends when you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. You could also prep it ahead a time and cook it in the slow cooker for 3-4 hours on low while you’re at work during the week. Serve the fajita meat over nachos in a burrito or chimichanga or if you’re keto like me put it over a salad. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2-3 tabs of olive oil (or oil of choice)
- 1 red, green, yellow or orange peppers sliced (I used a combo of all three)
- 1 whole onion sliced
- Ranchaco seasoning (Coming soon!) but you can use a combination or taco and ranch seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic and onion powder
- Juice of on lime (optional)
- 1/4 cup of cilantro (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Clean chicken and slice in uniform pieces. Make sure you keep everything similar size so it cooks evenly.
Add chicken to sliced veggies. Pour oil and mix. Season chicken and veggies and mix thoroughly so seasoning is well coated on food.
Spray sheet pan with oil or cover with foil. Spread chicken and veggies on sheet pan. Make sure it is one layer so don’t overcrowd your pan, use two if necessary.
Cook in oven for about 15-20 minutes then take out and turn meat over. Let cook for an additional 15-20 minutes. Remove from over and squeeze lime and cilantro over chicken and serve.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. I have started a new Facebook group which is all about food inspiration, meal planning and fun! If you’d like to join click the link here.
