Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium size red bell pepper
• 1 medium size green bell pepper
• 1 medium size yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium size medium onion
• 1 whole avocado
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 6

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together to combine well and absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Peel and slice the avocado, and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 8

To serve, divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among four plates. Garnish with avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 9

Enjoy your Keto Fajita Chicken, a flavorful, low-carb dish perfect for any meal.
