Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 packet fajita seasoning
  • 3 bell peppers (various colors)
  • 1 large onion
  • 1.5 cups uncooked long-grain rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine olive oil, lime juice, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken strips and let them marinate while you prepare the veggies.
  2. Cook the rice: In a pot, combine rice and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover until fluffy (15-20 minutes).
  3. Sauté the veggies: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers; cook until tender (5-7 minutes).
  4. Cook the chicken: Push veggies aside in the skillet and add marinated chicken. Cook until golden brown and cooked through (7-10 minutes). Mix everything together.
  5. Assemble bowls: Layer rice with the chicken-veggie mixture and top with your favorite garnishes.
