Chicken Fajita

Fajita is a traditional Mexican food. This homemade Chicken Fajita recipe is the closest to the ones at Mexican restaurants. The chicken is so flavorful, juicy and much better than restaurants. When it’s served on the table side, I could practically hear the sizzling sound.

The sheer mention of fajita always get my mouthwatering. While I love traditional fajita made with skirt steak, I also love the version made with chicken. There is nothing not to love about well-seasoned chicken with spice, cooked over intense high heat on a hot cast-iron skillet.

A good side dish for Fajita would be tortillas, corn or flour. I personally love flour tortilla, which I can fold my chicken fajita up easily by adding the chicken on the tortilla and serve immediately.

  5. Looks delicious, however…

    I’ll ask what two others have questioned…you list butter as an ingredient but don’t state when you should use it. Should the butter not be listed in the ingredients?
