Step one: Wash/clean and Cut the Veggies and Chicken Breast. First, wash the bell peppers as well as the chicken. Then slice the bell peppers and cut the chicken breast into thin strips; this helps for quick cooking. See the photos below.

Step two: Season the Fajitas. Add the sliced veggies and chicken breast into a big bowl. First, sprinkle the avocado oil or olive oil. Then sprinkle the seasoning and use a tong or a clean hand to combine. Ensure the seasoning touches every vegetable and chicken.

Step three: Air Fry Chicken Fajitas. First, set the air fryer to 16 minutes at 350 degrees and preheat. Then place the well-seasoned chicken breast and veggies in the air fryer basket and cook. Stir after 6 – 7 minutes. Cook for another 7 minutes, and it is ready.

Step four: Ensure chicken is fully cooked. Check if chicken is ready by cutting one chicken strip in the middle to ensure it’s no longer pink! Also, you can simply insert a food thermometer into the thickest chicken strip and make sure it reads 165.

Step five: Prep the Guac. Easily make the guacamole using this simple recipe. Alongside guacamole, we like to top fajitas with a dollop of sour cream. Usually, I combine equal quantities of sour cream and plain Greek yogurt with a dash of salt, pepper, and sweetener instead of plain sour cream. But do you.

Step six: Serving Fajitas. Typically, I serve this healthy air fryer chicken breast fajitas on tortillas. This is most people eat it. Also, you can enjoy them as is. My current obsession is to serve these air fryer chicken breast fajitas on fresh, crisp lettuce leaves! Finish with a drop of guacamole or sour cream (mixture) and avocado slices. I hope you make this recipe and enjoy it as you please!
