QUICK AND EASY BAKED CHICKEN FAJITAS



Quick and Easy Baked Chicken Fajitas image

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.

Provided by Member recipe by Steven Morris

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large chicken breasts, finely sliced
1 red onion, finely sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 red chilli, finely sliced (optional)
1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp ground coriander
pinch of ground cumin
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
4 tbsp olive oil
1 lime, juiced
4-5 drops Tabasco
6 medium tortillas
bag mixed salad
230g tub fresh salsa

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and wrap 6 medium tortillas in foil.
  • Mix 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground coriander, a pinch of ground cumin, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 4 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and 4-5 drops Tabasco together in a bowl with a big pinch each of salt and pepper.
  • Stir 2 finely sliced chicken breasts, 1 finely sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper and 1 finely sliced red chilli, if using, into the marinade.
  • Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add the chicken and marinade to the pan.
  • Keep everything moving over a high heat for about 5 mins using tongs until you get a nice charred effect. If your griddle pan is small you may need to do this in two batches.
  • To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and tear in half - if any part is still raw cook until done.
  • Put the tortillas in the oven to heat up and serve with the cooked chicken, a bag of mixed salad and one 230g tub of fresh salsa.

QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS



Quick and Easy Chicken Fajitas image

This is a recipe I recently adapted from Cooking Light - I was a little iffy at first about it b/c it didn't have any Mexican spices, but it ended up being really, really good. We used a Frontera (Rick Bayless's brand) salsa, and it worked really well with this. This is a super easy recipe and while you do have to wait for the marinade to marinate, the hands on time is pretty low.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup beer, they say to use Mexican dark but I used Budweiser
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lime, the juice of the lime
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb chicken breast, skinless, boneless, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 onion, sliced thinly
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
6 flour tortillas
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
salsa

Steps:

  • Combine the first six ingredients, stirring well. Place chicken in a zip lock bag, and pour about half of the beer mixture to bag; seal and toss around. Place onion, bell peppers, and other half of beer mixture in another zip lock bag; seal and toss.
  • Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least one hour; marinate veggies at room temperature for at least one hour.
  • Add 1 tbsp of canola oil to grill pan, and heat over medium high heat. Remove onion and bell peppers from marinade, and add to pan. Add red pepper and salt to taste. Cook for 6 minutes, or until beginning to get tender; turn after three minutes. Add chicken to pan; cook 2 minutes each side or until done.
  • Warm tortillas if desired, and divide onion and chicken mixture evenly between tortillas. Add jalapeno, cilantro, and salsa as desired, and serve.

SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS



Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas image

These protein-packed fajitas cleverly use a foil-lined baking sheet and broiler to make a quick and healthy weeknight meal with easy clean up.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound baby bell peppers (12 to 15 peppers), halved, stemmed and seeded
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
Juice of 1 lime, plus lime wedges, for serving
8 fajita-size flour tortillas, warmed
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Combine the chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Put the peppers and onions on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with half the chili powder mixture. Broil until softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toss in a large bowl with the remaining chile powder mixture and 1 tablespoon oil.
  • After the peppers are softened and starting to char, about 10 minutes, scatter the chicken on top of the peppers and onions and return the baking sheet to the broiler until the chicken is cooked through and starting to brown, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle with the lime juice.
  • Serve with the warmed tortillas, Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.
