- Start by mixing all the fajita seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. You could also skip this step and use 3-4 tablespoons of your favorite store-bought fajita seasoning.
- While you're waiting for the water to boil, dice the chicken, bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with the fajita seasoning.
- Heat a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil. My husband and I absolutely love cooking with cast iron, especially when it comes to fajitas, but any type will do. Saute the chicken until lightly browned all over, and add the peppers and onions. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are soft.
