Ingredients:
- 2 lbs organic chicken breasts
- 2 red bell peppers, julienned
- 2 yellow bell peppers, julienned
- 2 orange bell peppers, julienned
- 1 large Vidalia onion, julienned
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 packet organic fajita seasoning
- Juice of one lime
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup sliced green onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- Optional for serving: One lime cut into wedges, avocado slices, Siete almond flour tortillas, and Forager dairy free sour cream
**Try to choose an organic fajita seasoning that has simple ingredients and no additives or you can make your own! I also make sure to choose organic, dairy-free, and grain-free, but you can adjust this recipe to whatever your own needs are!
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Spread julienned bell peppers and onions evenly onto an aluminum foil covered baking sheet.
- Drizzle 2 tbsp avocado oil onto peppers and onions. Season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix to combine.
- Coat chicken breasts in fajita seasoning, making sure to fully cover both sides. Place chicken on top of peppers and onions.
- Put sheet pan in the oven for 25-30 minutes (time will depend on thickness of chicken breasts and oven). At about 20 minutes, begin to check for a doneness of 165 degrees.
- Remove from oven and allow chicken to cool for 5 minutes before cutting. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the chicken, peppers, and onions.
- Move chicken to a cutting board and cut chicken into strips.
- Evenly distribute peppers, onions, and chicken into meal prep containers.
- Top with diced tomatoes and cilantro. Place one lime wedge in each container.
- Put 1 tbsp dairy free sour cream into separate containers to serve with fajitas, along with 1/4 an avocado and two almond flour tortillas. I keep these items separate so that the meal can easily be reheated. I simply have these items ready to go and grab them as soon as I am ready to grab my meal!
**Other serving suggestions: serve over cauliflower rice, brown rice, or quinoa to make a chicken fajita bowl, or just enjoy this delicious meal on its own!
