Chicken Fajita Fiesta - Your One Pan Wonder

Get ready for a tasty treat! I'm thrilled to share with you a super-simple, delicious recipe that's about to become your go-to for those busy weekday meals – our Chicken Fajita meal prep. This one-pan dish is so full of  flavors, thanks to the dynamic duo of our Cancun Taco Fest and Creole Kick Carnival seasoning blends.

 

The Flavor of the Fiesta

 

What's not to love about Fajitas? The smoky sizzle, the colorful peppers, the tender, flavorful chicken - it's a party on a plate. And when it comes to creating that authentic fiesta flavor, our Cancun Taco Fest and Creole Kick Carnival seasoning blends truly shine. Spicy, savory, and just a bit tangy, they bring out the best in these fajitas, giving them that mouthwatering, must-have-more taste.

 

Marinating Magic

Begin by prepping your chicken marinade. This isn't just any old marinade; it's a fiesta-infusing magic potion. Start by combining olive oil, kosher salt, minced garlic, adobe sauce, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. And, of course, add a generous amount of our Cancun Taco Fest and Creole Kick Carnival seasoning blends.

Slice your chicken breasts into strips and marinate them in this tantalizing mixture. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes to let those bold flavors meld together.

 

Vibrant Veggies

While your chicken is marinating, turn your attention to your veggies. Slice up your red, green, and yellow bell peppers, along with your red onion. Coat them with the remaining marinade, enhancing their natural sweetness with our spicy and savory blends.

One-Pan Wonders

Preheat your oven and get ready for some one-pan wonders. Arrange your marinated chicken and veggies on a large sheet pan, creating a rainbow of food that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Bake until the chicken is fully cooked and the peppers are tender, then broil for a few minutes to get that delightful charred flavor.

And the finishing touch? A sprinkle of cheese melting into the hot fajitas, of course!

Serving the Fiesta

These Chicken Fajitas are a chameleon, able to adapt to any meal. Wrap them up in tortillas, serve them over cilantro rice for a gluten-free option, or go carb-free and turn them into a salad. For a snack, why not serve them atop crispy nachos? No matter how you choose to serve them, don't forget to top with pico de gallo, a dollop of sour cream, fresh slices of lime, and guacamole.

And there you have it - your very own Chicken Fajita Fiesta! Easy, quick, and bursting with flavor, this meal prep is sure to spice up your weekly rotation. So, don your sombrero, break out your best salsa moves, and get ready for a culinary carnival.
