QUICK AND EASY BAKED CHICKEN FAJITAS
I've been making chicken fajitas on the stove with packaged taco seasoning for years but always had so much clean up afterwards. This was not only better tasting, but also easier to clean up and way more satisfying! Serve with warm tortillas, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Taco sauce optional.

Steps:
- Add chicken (fresh or frozen) to Instant Pot. Add salsa and seasoning.If you are using a chunky salsa, add ½ cup of water to the pot. If the salsa is a cantina style and is more liquidy, you won't need to add water.Be sure your salsa and seasoning is compliant if you are on a Whole30!
- Seal lid and pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
- Quick release the pressure and shred chicken with 2 forks.
- While the chicken cooks, start cooking the peppers and onions. Heat a cast iron skillet or large pan on medium and add oil.
- Slice peppers removing seeds and membrane and add to hot pan. Add onion slices.
- Add fajita seasoning, cook until tender and slightly charred.
- Heat corn or tortillas in skillet until warm. *(Whole30 option) As an alternative, you can serve these fajitas over romaine lettuce to make a fajita salad!
- Add shredded chicken, then peppers and onions.
- Top with any toppings you desire: sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and a fresh squeezed lime wedge.*Here I used the Pioneer Woman's recipe for pico de gallo as an additional topping (link in post), one of our faves!Enjoy!
