How to Make Easy Skillet Chicken Fajitas

  1. Cut chicken breasts into thin strips.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken with 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
  5. Add 1 chopped bell pepper (any color or combination) and 1 chopped onion to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded American cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Stir until cheese is melted and incorporated.
  7. Serve immediately in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded lettuce.
