Fast and Easy Chicken Fajitas

We found this delicious recipe for homemade fajitas in an issue of Martha Stewart: Everyday Cooking. Ty and I were so happy with how they turned out! We had restaurant-delicious chicken fajitas in under 30 minutes...start to finish. It just doesn't get better than that!

First, we cut an onion, one red and one yellow bell pepper into thin strips. We threw them into a bowl and tossed them with some olive oil and various seasonings.



Next, we sprinkled three chicken breasts with seasonings and put them in the oven to broil for five to ten minutes. I kept the oven open a slight crack so I could keep an eye on them while they cooked...the broiler is a dangerous beast and I didn't want it getting the best of me! The chicken turned out beautifully and the actual broiling time for our chicken was around eight minutes.



After the chicken came out of the oven we used a sharp knife to cut it into thin strips.

The vegetables went into the oven next. The recipe said to broil them for six to eight minutes, or until tender and slightly charred. After eight minutes the peppers still weren't tender enough so we cooked them for around ten minutes instead.



Here's a look at the finished product...




The recipe was a big hit with everyone! I'm sure we'll be making it again sometime soon!
