These juicy, flavorful chicken, peppers and onions fajitas are hands down the best fajitas I've ever had and it all starts with a marinade and a secret in the peppers
In a plastic storage bag or baking dish, whisk together all of the marinade, adding the cilantro at the end.
Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade.
Add the chicken to the ziploc of marinade, seal and refrigerate for 30-90 minutes
Meanwhile, prepare the peppers and onions.
Once the peppers and onions are cooked, remove to a plate.
Drain the juices off and heat the skillet to medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally until cooked.
Add the reserved marinade and peppers and onions and cook until everything is hot again. Serve with tortillas and toppings
Peppers and Onions
In a cast iron skillet (we prefer this one from Lodge), over medium heat add the butter and oil.
Add the peppers and onions and the seasoning.
Once the veggies begin cooking, turn the heat to medium low and while stirring occasionally, allow to cook for about 20 minutes or until golden and tender.
Remove to a plate
Notes
This makes a really great freezer meal! Just freeze the meat and marinade in one bag, sliced peppers and onions in another for up to 3 weeks. Or if you use a food saver up to 3 months.
