Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Slice the red and green bell peppers and the yellow onion into thin strips.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil followed by the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender but still a bit crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture in romaine lettuce leaves, dividing evenly among the 8 leaves. Roll them up like fajitas and enjoy.
