    A flavorful, but light Chicken Fajita recipe that the whole family will love. 

    chicken-fajitas this awesome idea!

    Amazing Chicken Fajitas

    Cinco de Mayo calls for all our favorite Mexican-inspired food. In the past, whenever we wanted chicken fajitas, we usually sauted chicken, peppers, and onions together and then stirred in our favorite salsa to simmer 5 minutes before filling them inside tortillas.

    And then we had these simple & amazing fajitas. 

    There's no turning back now! Our good friends introduced us to these fajitas and now this is how we make them every time.

    Quick Prep Time

    The chicken fajita marinade will only take you a few minutes to throw together. Do this in the morning because the secret is letting the chicken sit in this goodness for 6-8 hours to soak in all the flavors.

    You could also prep this the night before if mornings are too crazy!

    And then when you're ready to cook, just saute the chicken and then peppers and onions and you've got one yummy meal!

    Fill your favorite soft tortilla shells with the grilled chicken and veggies and enjoy!

    What to Serve With These Chicken Fajitas

    • Fresh Mango Salsa + chips
