These Chicken Fajitas literally so flavorful, juicy and absolutely delicious! They are made with marinated chicken sautéed in a hot cast iron skillet with sautéed onions and peppers.
You can prepare this dish in no time and your loved ones will certainly have a meal they will all enjoy.
To get the perfect juicy chicken full of flavor, start with marinating the chicken in lime juice, oil and spices for at least 30 minutes. The lime juice not only flavors but also tenderizes the chicken. Remember to pierce the chicken breast or thighs so the marinade can easily penetrate the meat.
