Quick Chicken Fajitas (Weeknight Version)

Chicken fajitas with peppers and onions served simply on a plate

This is the kind of dinner that happens while the pan is already hot. Chicken, peppers, and spices cook fast, stay juicy, and end up wrapped or piled on the plate without extra steps.

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into thin strips and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cut the peppers and onion into similar-sized strips.
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan over high heat.
  4. Add the chicken and cook quickly until lightly browned.
  5. Add the peppers and onion and keep cooking until softened but still slightly crisp.
  6. Sprinkle in cumin, paprika, chili, and coriander.
  7. Toss everything well and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  8. Finish with lime juice and taste for seasoning.
  9. Serve straight from the pan with tortillas or simply piled on a plate.

Tips

Cut everything before heating the pan — fajitas move fast once you start.
If the pan gets dry, add a splash of water instead of more oil.
