Keto Chicken Fajitas
These keto chicken fajitas are made in one skillet and served with actual keto tortillas. Mad with flavors of cumin and chili peppers you'll have a steaming one pan recipe done in only 30 minutes. Marinated chicken in soft tortillas or lettuce wraps of your choice but all low carb and keto friendly!
Ingredients
- 1 pound thin cut chicken breast
- 3 bell peppers
- 1/2 onion
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 squeezed lime
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon tumeric
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients of the marinade together then add chicken to it. Place to the side then cut up your bell peppers and onions. Chicken doesn't have to marinate long unless you just want to add more time, it won't hurt anything
- Turn frying pan on medium high heat. Remove chicken from marinade then place directly into pan. Cook chicken on both sides until done.
- Once chicken is done remove from pan and immedietly add bell peppers and onions. Add any remaining marinade and also add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper directly onto veggies
- Continue cooking until veggies have softened and seared. You may need to turn heat up a little due to water releasing from veggies. But, be careful with the heat. Cooking them too fast the vegetables wont soften before searing.
- Remove from heat and serve veggies with each chicken breast. I had 4 total breast in my recipe. See above the recipe for my tortilla recipe!
Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Keep it simple! This recipe isn't difficult, so not much to do for you to mess up. Monitor your heat when cooking around medium high heat. You don't want to cook things too fast but you want the heat high enough for a good sear of both chicken and veggies.
