Place chicken in a large reusable silicone bag or glass baking dish and set aside.Marinate Chicken: Add chili powder, kosher salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, oregano, pepper, lime juice, olive oil and fresh cilantro (if using) into a small bowl. Whisk until well combined. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more.Cook Chicken: Bring a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add some oil, swirl to coat the pan. Remove chicken from marinade letting excess marinade drip off; discard leftover marinade. Place chicken in the hot pan and sear 8-10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F. (use an internal meat thermometer for accuracy) – during the cooking process turn down the heat, as-needed, if your skillet really gets hot and/or add a little extra oil if the pan is dry – to avoid burning. Squeeze fresh lime juice over chicken and stir. Remove from skillet and let the chicken rest on a plate while you cook the veggies.&nbsp;Cook Veggies: Keeping pan at a medium-high heat, add 2-3 tablespoons of chicken broth to deglaze the pan – use a spatula to scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and move around pan until it becomes fragrant, approx. 1 minute. Add onion, bell peppers and the fajita seasoning. Stir to combine.&nbsp; Add additional broth or olive oil to pan if you feel it is getting a bit dry.&nbsp;Finish Veggies: Sauté for approx. 10-15 minutes or until the peppers have reached your desired doneness (cook shorter for a more firm, but tender pepper – longer for a softer pepper). Taste and add any additional salt or pepper, to taste.Add Chicken: Return the chicken back to the skillet, along with any juices that have gathered. Stir to combine. Taste and add any additional fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro or salt – as needed.Serve: In each bowl add some cilantro lime rice, chicken, fajita veggies, corn salsa, guacamole, sour cream (or cilantro lime sauce), fresh cilantro, tomatoes and fresh lime wedges.&nbsp;Keywords: chicken fajita bowlWeekly meal plans, amazing coffee recipes, shopping lists, where to start.... all delivered straight to YOU!!!Download NowThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
