Chicken fajitas are a colorful and aromatic dish made from sliced chicken breast, bell peppers, and onion sautéed together with spices. Chicken is first marinated briefly so it stays juicy and absorbs seasoning evenly. Vegetables are cooked quickly over high heat to remain tender but slightly crisp. Fajitas are served hot with tortillas and optional toppings added at the table.
