步驟

Make the Chicken Fajita Marinade

Whisk the lime juice, oil, sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder and salt in a small bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Add the marinade, chicken, and 1 tablespoon water to a 1-gallon zip-top bag or baking dish. Toss the chicken to coat, then press as much air out of the bag (if using) as possible, or cover with plastic wrap (if using a baking dish). Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Set the remaining marinade aside.

Add 2 teaspoons of avocado oil to the pan, then add the chicken in an even layer. Allow the chicken to cook on one side for 5 minutes or until browned, then flip and cook 2-5 more minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Cook the Fajita Veggies

To the same pan, add 2 teaspoons of oil, along with the veggies. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and begin to char, stirring frequently.

Add the remaining marinade to the veggies, along with the cooked chicken and bring to a strong simmer, stirring to coat.

Serve immediately with toppings of your choice.
