QUICK AND EASY BAKED CHICKEN FAJITAS



Quick and Easy Baked Chicken Fajitas image

I've been making chicken fajitas on the stove with packaged taco seasoning for years but always had so much clean up afterwards. This was not only better tasting, but also easier to clean up and way more satisfying! Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Taco sauce optional.

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 teaspoon garlic granules, or to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1 pinch dried oregano, or to taste
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes for chili
1 large onion, cut in strips

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips, or to taste
½ (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 pounds chicken breast strips
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
One 14-ounce bag frozen peppers and onions blend, defrosted
Zest of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces pilsner beer
Warm flour tortillas
Sliced avocado
Lime wedges
Fresh cilantro leaves
Salsa verde and rojo
Chopped fresh tomato
Shredded cheese blend

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a large resealable plastic bag, add the chicken, olive oil, lime juice, chile powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Seal, squish around a bit to mix and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • For the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the peppers and onions blend and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, toss together and set aside.
  • On a large, seasoned cast-iron griddle on medium-high heat, add the chicken right from the marinade and spread it out so it doesn't steam; you may have to cook it in batches. Cook until the chicken is light golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Once a batch is finished, try to pile it on a cool area of the griddle until you finish the rest or pile in a bowl. Once done with the chicken, cook the veggies the same way.
  • Pile the chicken and veggies back onto the griddle and gently spritz and sprinkle just enough beer to allow the griddle to steam a bit while tossing the chicken and veggies together just to warm through. Drink the rest of the beer. Serve with the fixins: tortillas, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, salsa, chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.
