LOW-CALORIE, FLAVOR-PACKED CHICKEN FAJITAS RECIPE



Low-Calorie, Flavor-Packed Chicken Fajitas Recipe image

A skillet of sizzling chicken or beef strewn with fresh onions and peppers should be the base for a fantastic meal, but then why do...

Provided by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding

Categories     Lunch, Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 19

1⁄2 cup orange juice
2 Tbsp chopped chipotle pepper
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 lb boneless
skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 red bell pepper
sliced
1 green bell pepper
sliced
2 onions
sliced
8 small (6") flour tortillas
warmed
Guacamole
Salsa
1 cup shredded Jack or Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the orange juice, chipotle, lime juice, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken and marinate in the fridge for an hour. Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan until hot. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard what's left in the bag. Grill the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until lightly charred and cooked all the way through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. While the chicken cooks, heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook the bell peppers and onions until charred and caramelized on the outside, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken into thin pieces. For a dramatic presentation, place the chicken on top of the hot peppers in the skillet and bring the skillet sizzling to the table. Serve with warm tortillas, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.
