Chicken Fajita Skillet Recipe

How to Make Chicken Fajita Skillet

1. Marinate: In a bowl, rub chicken breasts with 2 tbsp fajita seasoning. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
2. Slice Chicken: Slice marinated chicken into 1/2-inch strips.
3. Cook Chicken: Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Add chicken strips and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
4. Sauté Vegetables: Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry on high heat for 3-5 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp.
5. Set Aside: Remove chicken and vegetables from skillet and set aside.
6. Cook Potatoes: Add leftover cooked potatoes or frozen hash browns to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally (about 5-7 minutes).
7. Season Potatoes: Season potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Prepare Omelets: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper.
9. Cook Omelets: Cook egg mixture in two separate portions in the same skillet, creating two omelets.
10. Assemble: Divide the cooked potatoes in half between two serving plates.
11. Layer Fajitas: Top each portion of potatoes with half of the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture.
12. Add Omelet: Place one omelet on top of each fajita layer.
13. Cheese it Up: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over each serving.
14. Garnish & Serve: Serve immediately, garnished with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa (optional).
