Notes
- You want the chicken to be brown and crispy on the outside, so make sure to stir regularly while cooking.
- Serve with tortillas as traditional fajitas, or in a bowl with rice and vegetables as shown.
- For a low carb option use lettuce wraps.
- Top with sliced avocados - but only just before serving - avoid for meal prep of more than a day.
- Chop your chicken and veggies into a bite sized pieces. This is especially helpful for meal prep and if you're eating on the go!
- Add some crushed red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.
- Top with sour cream or guac. For meal prep, put those sauces/toppings in a smaller container, don't add to the fajitas prior to serving.
- Swap out the chicken for shrimp or thinly sliced steak.
