A fusion of Mexican- Asian style Chicken Fajitas that are both easy and tasty!
Do you love chicken fajitas? I do. There's something about chicken, peppers, and onions wrapped in a tortilla that just makes me seriously hungry. This recipe is incredibly easy to make!
S, long time, no post. If you were unaware, I lost my marbles along with my health on our trip out west. So, long story short I'm okay but confused, worn out and in need of medical intervention. I'm hanging in there though and trying to keep my sense of humour about things. I'll fill you in more on the whole ordeal later this week. For now I'd like to turn your attention to Sunday Supper and our Mexican Fiesta.
Okay truth time. I am wicked sick so I did not do up the fajitas the way I had planned. I can barely stand upright folks. So I did an easy peasy, sorta Mexican- Asian type fajita this week. It is the best I could do on such limited energy. I took on too much this week, but did not want to let my Sunday Supper crew down since I had to bail last week due to the whole "hospital thing". So I powered through and this is my idea of Mexican when I'm tired and can't handle anything too spicy. So if you like watered down, Americanized Mexican food this is the dish for you. If you're looking for authentic, spicy Mexican food I'd suggest visiting the rest of the crew for inspiration. I'm sure they went above and beyond as they always do. This group rocks, and they cook up amazing food. So on with the food. Watered down and otherwise.
Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients
- 1 large White or Sweet Onion cut into thin strips
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 2 green peppers cut into thin strips
- 2 red peppers cut into thin strips
- 2 yellow peppers cut into think strips
- 2 tablespoons Stir fry Sauce such as General Tao's
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Cayenne Pepper to taste
- Red Pepper Flakes to taste
- 1 to 2 packages tortillas we used medium sized
Instructions
- Cut up your onion into thin strips. Place in a frying or saute pan you've sprayed with non stick spray over medium-low heat and drizzle with olive oil. Let this cook for about 15 to 20 minutes while you cut up and cook the other ingredients. You want them almost caramelized before you add the next ingredient. Stir every few minutes and add extra olive oil if you find it getting too dry or sticking to the pan.
- Cut up your chicken into thin strips, place in a separate frying pan or saute pan you've sprayed with non stick spray, and cook over medium heat until almost brown. Stir it often. Mine took about 10 to 12 minutes but I like mine quick crispy so feel free to reduce cook time to 8 to 10 minutes if you like. Once it's almost cooked add the stir fry sauce and stir often. Then you can add the spices to taste.
- While the chicken is cooking you can cut up your peppers and set them aside until the onions are almost caramelized. Once those onions are just starting to turn golden toss the peppers into the same pan as the onions. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes more depending how you like your peppers. I like mine just starting to soften with a touch of crunch right in the middle. It's all about personal preference with cooking. Feel free to sort of ad lib when cooking. There's no right or wrong way.
- Once everything is cooked, toss some fajitas into the microwave for a few seconds to soften them up, then pop some chicken and some peppers and onions into them. You can jazz yours up with whatever you like. I kept mine mild.
- Serve with a big old "I need to lie down now" smile!
Notes
Hope you like it. This really is a simple dish and easy on the taste buds for those less daring. So this would be good for kids for sure. Plus it's easy peasy and cooks up quick. Save some time by using some leftover cooked chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken from the store. If I had thought of that, (remember I'm on LOTS of drugs right now) I would have just heated up a pre-cooked chicken from the store to be perfectly honest.

The Mom Chef
Oh no! I was hoping that you'd feel much better by now. Prayers will keep heading your way. You're a star (and crazy) for pulling together this amazing dish while so I'll.
Kim Bee
Thanks my dear. I figured I may as well make it then the boys would be fed for a couple of days at least. Lol.
Choc Chip Uru
You have been missed my friend, I seriously hope you are feeling better and know that you are in my thoughts 🙂 - keep smiling and glowing with your gorgeous attitude!
Also loving this wonderful dish, you flavour the chicken to perfection!
Cheers

Kim Bee
Thanks so much my dear. I also cannot wait to have you back as well. Let me know if you need a guest post or anything.
Ramona
You're a trooper! If I was as sick as you sound... I would not even think about stepping into my kitchen. Then you make these amazing chicken fajitas. You sure can work miracles on limited energy. Looks wonderful. Please feel better soon... I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad these days.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Ramona. On the bright side I've finally come out of my medicine stupor long enough to remember the details and have been researching the diagnosis of diverticulitis. So I'm making good progress now. Be right as rain soon. Thanks for the continued support my friend. xx
Laura Hunter
Oh dear, I am sorry you are still so sick. Cudos to you for even giving this week an attempt. I hope you can get some extra rest this week and feel better soon.
Kim Bee
Thanks Laura. I've actually been resting a ton the last two days, feels nice to take it easy. Well, easy for me anyway. There's still cooking and laundry no matter how sick I am.
sunithi
Yummy ! Love the red plate and al the Mexican color around !!! So coordinated ! Am hungry now !
Kim Bee
Awe thanks. I love playing with colour. Just wish I'd had enough energy to really play around with the pics.
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen
These are wonderful fajitas, full of flavor and the colors! Good luck with your intervention, thinking of you!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Paula. I'm sure I'll be fine in no time. I've gotten tons of rest the last couple of days so feeling a bit better already.
Cindy's Recipes and Writings
Love fajitas! Welcome back, Kim!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Cindy! xx
Kayle (The Cooking Actress)
You poor thing!!! You're such a trouper!
Kim Bee
Awe thanks Kayle. I think I needed some kitchen action. I felt a little better after so maybe it was good medicine for me. xx
A Canadian Foodie
What a round up! Hope you are OK. Sounds like you were in a car accident. Whatever it is, positive energy your way - and a pile of it - you deserve it as you share so much of exactly that with each of us in every post.
XOXOXO
Kim Bee
Thanks Valerie. Nope not a car accident, just some a health meltdown. I've had ibs for years but apparently I had a bout with diverticulitis. That coupled with dehydration and bp issues from the elevation. Forgot how I get when I go to places that aren't flat like here. It was a brutal reminder. Loved my time in Calgary though, and plan to be back at least once a year now that my son is there. Maybe we can meet up next time when it's not so hectic. Would love to meet you in person when I travel cross Canada again.
And thank you so much. You are so sweet. Your kind words made my day. xx
Katie
Chicken fajitas are classic: I am such a fan of the flavor combination. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Katie. This SS was so much fun. I really enjoy this group so much.
Jen @ Juanita's Cocina
I miss you. You should have called! I would have come up and made your fajitas for you!
Kim Bee
Okay next time I'm calling you cuz hubs and mini-me are just no good in the kitchen. Lol.
This was fun even though I was sick. The upside was being able to participate in chat for a change.
kitchenriffs
I love Mexican food. And Asian. And - oh heck, I love everything! What does that make me? 😉 Anyway, nice idea to add some Asian flavors in a Mexican dish. This is a nice, tasty dish that is super easy to make. Not being on drugs 😉 I'd definitely go for the cooked, store-bought chicken. Thanks for posting when you're so sick, but please don't overdo it - we need our loony to get better Get well!
Kim Bee
I think that makes you adventurous which is awesome. I usually have to push myself out of my comfort zones food wise. I get into ruts.
I am doing much better today. Had a good rest, started coming out of my drug haze and googled my diagnosis. So things are looking up. xx
Angie @ Big Bear's Wife
Love the bright colors in this dish! looks great
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Angie. I had fun making it. And finally joining you guys in chat for once. The one upside to being sick right now is twitter chat. Lol!
Marina@Picnic at Marina
Dear Kim, I am sending you a big warm hug and wish you all the best. Hang in there, dear friend. You know we love you!
Kim Bee
Awe, you're gonna make me cry. Thanks so much Marina. You are such a sweetheart. You warmed my heart today. xx
Bea
The fajitas look fantastic!
Kim Bee
Thank you so much.
Renee
I have a friend who does not eat hardly any spices. And he likes Asian food. To this Asian-Mexican low-spice fusion dish would be perfect for him. I will send it on to him and I am sure he will love it.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Renee. I can't help myself, whenever I do fajitas I find myself mixing in asian sauces. I think I just like any excuse to use asian or tamari types sauces. Tamari is the be all and end all for me. The thicker the better.
Tara Noland
I love quick and easy Fajitas. So full of goodness!! A great meal anytime and these look so good!!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Tara. I love that fajitas are just as good the second day too. I don't like too many foods reheated but these reheat beautifully.
Stacy
So sorry you are feeling unwell. Your fajitas look bright and happy though, so there's that. Concerned moms worldwide would also like to know that the B-Dude is settling in. And that his mom is feeling better soon.
Take care,
Stacy
Kim Bee
Thanks Stacy. I really enjoyed getting in the kitchen for a bit. It's been awhile for me. B-Dude is doing so well. I am so proud of him. The bummer is he'll be about 8 hours away this week and I'll be too sick to travel over to see him. He's being given an award in Quebec. I'm so bummed I'm too sick to travel.
Lane @ Supper for a Steal
We love chicken fajitas, but I haven't made them in so long! Need to make them again soon.
Kim Bee
Thanks Lane. You must. I usually do steak so it was a welcome treat to have chicken.
diabeticFoodie
So sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Sending positive vibes your way. Your cooking on a sick day beats a lot of other people's on their good days!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much. I just felt the need to get off my duff for a bit. I'm not used to not cooking for so long. Was fun, and glad I did easy peasy.
