Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Grilled Chicken Fajitas.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, and fajita seasoning, whisking until the mixture is harmonious.
Step 2
Transfer this zesty marinade into a resealable plastic bag and add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Step 3
Squeeze out any excess air, seal the bag, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to absorb all those vibrant flavors.
Step 4
While the chicken is soaking up the goodness, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to keep everything from sticking.
Step 5
Prepare the bell peppers by slicing them in half and removing the seeds and membranes, setting the stage for a colorful grill display.
Step 6
After the marinating time, take the chicken out of the bag, shaking off any extra marinade, and discard what’s left.
Step 7
Place the chicken and bell peppers cut-side down on the hot grill.
Step 8
Grill for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, with juices running clear.
Step 9
Aim for an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) for perfectly juicy chicken, while the peppers develop beautiful grill marks.
Step 10
Once everything is grilled to perfection, remove the chicken and peppers from the grill.
Step 11
Slice them into strips and serve warm on tortillas, creating a delightful feast that’s bursting with flavor and color.
Step 12
Enjoy the deliciousness!.
