Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 whole yellow bell pepper
• 1 whole green bell pepper
• 1 whole red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Reserve the rest of the marinade for the vegetables.

Step 3

3. Cover the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, if time allows.

Step 4

4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the red onion into similar sized strips.

Step 5

5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

6. Once the grill is hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear.

Step 7

7. While the chicken is grilling, toss the sliced vegetables with the reserved marinade.

Step 8

8. Add the vegetables to a grill pan and set it on the grill. Cook while stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

9. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then slice the chicken into thin strips.

Step 10

10. Assemble the fajitas by placing a portion of the grilled chicken and vegetables onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 11

11. Serve the fajitas hot, with lime wedges on the side if desired.
