Chicken Fajitas
These chicken fajitas are everything a weeknight dinner should be — bold, sizzling, and packed with flavor. Made with tender chicken strips, colorful bell peppers, and onions, this recipe comes together quickly while delivering that classic fajita taste everyone loves. Using my homemade fajita seasoning mix means every bite is seasoned perfectly, without additives or store-bought packets.
The real star of this dish is the seasoning. Blended from simple pantry spices, this homemade fajita seasoning adds smoky, savory depth and just the right amount of heat. It coats the chicken beautifully, helping it caramelize as it cooks, while enhancing the natural sweetness of the peppers and onions. It’s the kind of flavor that tastes restaurant-worthy but fits seamlessly into clean, everyday cooking.
Serve these chicken fajitas in warm tortillas, over rice, or in a bowl topped with fresh toppings like avocado, salsa, or sour cream. Perfect for busy family dinners, meal prep, or casual gatherings, this recipe proves that homemade seasoning makes all the difference. Once you try chicken fajitas made with your own fajita seasoning mix, taco night will never be the same.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and fajita seasoning.
In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the chicken in a single layer, so it cooks evenly.
After 3 minutes of the cooking, add the onions and bell peppers, and mix in.
Continue cooking for another 4 minutes and add the chicken broth. Scrape the brown bit from the pan and continue mixing the chicken with the vegetables until they get translucent, and all the chicken is golden brown.
