Servings: 4
Calories: 306kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 white onion
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
For serving:
- Corn or flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Guacamole or avocado
- Salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and place into a large bowl. Thinly slice the onion and bell peppers and place them into the bowl with the chicken. Add the avocado oil and mix until evenly coated.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and coconut or brown sugar to a small bowl and mix until well combined. Add the seasonings over the chicken, onions, and bell peppers. Mix until everything is evenly coated in the spices.
- Add the seasoned chicken and veggies to a large baking sheet and spread into an even layer (for best results, we recommend that you do not line your baking sheet with parchment paper).
- Place the pan into the oven and bake for 10-13 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 4-6 minutes or until the chicken reads 165 degrees with an instant-read thermometer. The chicken and veggies should have some browning and caramelization, but should not be burned—keep a close eye and remove early if needed to prevent burning. Remove the pan from the oven. While the fajitas are cooking, prepare any needed toppings.
- Serve with warm tortillas and top with guac, salsa, cilantro, and any other preferred toppings.
