Garlic Onion Chicken Fajitas with Lime image

Steps:

  • Whisk orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, dried onion, oregano, cilantro, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Measure out 1/4 cup of the marinade and set aside. Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag, place chicken in the bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade.
  • Cook and stir chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Cook and stir pepper and onion in the same skillet with reserved 1/4 cup of marinade until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spoon chicken mixture into tortillas.

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS

I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

CHICKEN FAJITAS WITH LIME, GARLIC AND BELL PEPPERS

WW friendly. A family favorite especially when atoning for excesses. This is so tasty, yet so healthy, even when each adult eats two large burritos. I adapted this from a recipe on a plastic produce bag at a Mars Supermarket.

  • In a dutch oven (or skillet), heat approximately 1-2 tbl. of oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts liberally/generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. When the oil is hot, carefully place in the chicken. The oil should crackle quite a bit on first contact with the chicken. Let the chicken cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Using tongs flip the chicken (If the chicken does not release from the pan, it’s not ready yet and needs a little more time). Cook on the other side until done, about 5-7 minutes (but depends on the thickness of your chicken). Remove from pot and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes, then cut into 1/4-inch strips. Hopefully it is completely cooked through. If not, that’s okay… you can cook it some more in the next step if needed.
  • To the pot where the chicken was cooked, add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly and avoid burning, about 1 minute. Add the juice of 4-6 limes (tip: roll the lime back and forth on the counter with your hand using medium pressure. This will help it release more of its juices). Let the juice cook briefly and stir constantly until it starts to reduce to a syrupy glaze. Briefly add chicken back to pot and stir just so the glaze coats the chicken. If the chicken needs any more cook time, now’s the time to get it cooked. Since it is sliced at this point, any additional cooking will be brief (1-2 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, while chicken is cooking, heat approximately 1 tbl. of oil in another fry pan/skillet over medium/medium-low heat. Once hot, add the peppers and onions, season with salt and stir occasionally. Cook until they are slightly golden but still have a little crunch to them, about 5-7 minutes.
