How to Make Rj's Chicken Fajitas

  1. Slice 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 12 oz (1 bottle) of your favorite beer.
  3. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
  4. While the chicken marinates, prepare your veggies. Sauté 1 bell pepper (any color), 1 onion, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms in 3 tbsp olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, cook the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and no longer pink.
  7. Add the sautéed vegetables back to the pan and stir to combine. Season with 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp of the chicken cooking liquid with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp cold water until smooth.
  9. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan with the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  10. Serve immediately with warm tortillas, your favorite toppings (sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo), and an ice-cold pilsner lager (optional!).
