Instructions
Making your Chicken Fajita Bowl is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together to warm through and mix well.
6. Prepare the Base: In a serving bowl, add a generous portion of cooked rice or quinoa as the base.
7. Assemble the Bowl: Top the rice or quinoa with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
8. Add Toppings: Finish with your choice of toppings, such as avocado, salsa, shredded cheese, or sour cream.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
