Juicy chicken breast cooked to perfection paired with sauteed bell peppers and onions. Fresh lime juice adds a punch of flavor as well. You can't beat this quick family recipe and it only requires a few basic ingredients.

Ingredients

1 Yellow Bell Pepper, thinly sliced

1 Green Bell Pepper, thinly sliced

1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced

1 White Onion, thinly sliced

3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

1/2 Teaspoon Paprika

1/4 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Add the homemade fajita seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and stir together.

3. Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 8-10 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the chicken.

4. Cut the bell peppers and onion into thin slices.

5. After the chicken is done cooking, put it on a plate and let it rest. Add the onion and bell peppers to the same skillet and sauté for 5 minutes and make sure to stir frequently.

6. When the bell peppers are almost done sauteing, slice the chicken into thin strips.

7. Add the chicken back into your skillet. Add a squeeze of your fresh lime juice and mix everything together.
