Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Boneless Chicken Breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp Fajita Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 large Bell Peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium Onion, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • Lime Wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. Season the chicken strips thoroughly with the fajita seasoning.
  3. In a bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers and onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  6. Air fry for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is sliced against the grain to maximize tenderness. For even cooking, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings like avocado or cilantro.
