Description
A vibrant and hearty one-pot meal featuring marinated chicken, colorful veggies, and fluffy rice, capturing the essence of classic fajitas.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
- 1 sweet or yellow onion
- 3 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- 2 tablespoons oil (canola or olive)
- Optional toppings: avocado, cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in fajita seasoning and a splash of oil. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the marinated chicken in a heated skillet until golden and cooked through. Remove and let it rest.
- Sauté onions and bell peppers in the same skillet until tender and slightly crispy, adding more oil if needed.
- Stir in the cooked rice, return the chicken to the pan, and mix everything thoroughly.
- Cook for a few more minutes to allow the rice to absorb the vibrant colors and spices, then serve hot.
- Top with optional toppings like avocado and lime for added freshness.
Notes
Slice the chicken against the grain for tenderness and consider using leftover rice for a quicker meal. Adjust seasoning to control spice levels.
