Instructions
1
In your cast iron skillet, add ghee or olive oil over medium heat.
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. I like to pound out my chicken so that it has an even thickness throughout.
4
Combine pepper, sea salt, cumin, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Rub this mixture on both sides of the chicken.
5
Add chicken to pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan.
6
Meanwhile, toss chopped veggies with olive oil. Spread veggies out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
7
Place browned chicken alongside veggies and bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness of chicken) until no longer pink.
8
Garnish with jalapeños and lime juice if desired.

Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Slice Chicken Against the Grain 🔪Cut chicken breasts perpendicular to the muscle fibers to maximize tenderness and allow marinades to penetrate more effectively, resulting in juicier fajitas.
- Bloom Your Spices in Ghee 🌶️Toast your cumin, chili powder, and paprika in warm ghee for 30 seconds before adding chicken to unlock their essential oils and deepen the bold Mexican flavors exponentially.
- Build Char on Vegetables Separately 🔥Sear peppers and onions in a separate pan first to achieve caramelized edges, then combine with chicken at the end to prevent soggy vegetables and maintain textural contrast.
- Lime Juice Strategy 🍋Reserve fresh lime juice to squeeze over finished fajitas rather than cooking it into the dish, preserving its bright acidity and vibrant flavor that cuts through the richness.
- Rest Between Marinating and Cooking ⏱️Let seasoned chicken sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking to ensure even flavor distribution and faster, more consistent cooking throughout the meat.
