Ingredients
Fajita Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp chipotle powder, or cayenne powder
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- First, add the olive oil to a large skillet. Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes. Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken pieces, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, chipotle powder, and lime juice. Stir until the chicken is well seasoned.
- Once the chicken is browned on all sides, but not fully cooked through, add the peppers and onions. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are softened.
- Meanwhile, add the cauliflower rice, olive oil, sea salt, and lime juice to another skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until warmed through.
- Finally, assemble the bowls. Add in the cauliflower rice, topped with chicken, peppers, and onions. Garnish with sliced avocado, salsa, and cilantro.
Notes
- Chicken thighs work well too.
- Chicken is considered fully cooked when it has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally.
- Use a meat thermometer.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet until warm.
