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.

Thanks so much Erin. I think I just got sick of being a lump. I needed something to do. Was tiring but so nice to get back in the kitchen for a bit.
Pam @ The Meltaways
I'm so sorry that you are still not well! Whether they are as done up as you wanted or not, your fajitas look fabulous.
Kim Bee
Thank you so much Pam. I love a good fajita, fancy or plain.
Tammi @ Momma's Meals
I could eat these right now!! Thanks for sharing.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much.
Liz
These are exactly the kind of fajiitas my family wants....minimal spice is perfect. Hope you are back to your normal crazy self very soon...please take good care. xx
Kim Bee
Thanks Liz. I hope so. This whole trip had me rethinking Whipped, I really need to talk to the doc and see if I'm still good to go. I'm a little nervous to travel after this whole ordeal. I should decide cuz if I'm going I still need to book a room and flight. Yikes.
Liz
Remember, you'll have a nurse at your side at Whipped 🙂 I hope you will be fit enough to go. xx
Alaiyo Kiasi
My son would absolutely love this dish! Beautiful photos, too!
Kim Bee
Thanks so much. This is the first time I've made them since my son moved out. I forgot he was gone and made way too much. Lol.
Heather @girlichef
"If you like watered down Americanized Mexican food, this dish is for you"... ha ha ha! That got me a good chuckle 😉 But seriously, I love fajitas and I could totally go for some right now. I'm good with authentic or americanized ;P I hope you're feeling much better soon!
Kim Bee
Keeping it real. Lol.
Thanks so much. I am feeling so much better today. It'll be a slow recovery but I'm on my way.
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef
Sorry you're not well. Don't push yourself because nobody wants you worse due to not wanting to let anyone down. Take care and relax. We'll all be here when you're patched up.
I love fajitas - easy or complicated 🙂
Kim Bee
Awe you are so sweet Maureen. Thanks for that. I have been laying in bed for a couple of days now so I've been resting up like a good patient. I'm feeling hopeful I may be able to get out for a bit tomorrow for some bloodwork I need done.
Me too. These were worth the minimal effort. Lol.
Family Foodie
So glad you are back Kim.... We missed you terribly! Glad you are feeling better.
Kim Bee
Thanks Isabel. I am so happy to back with you guys. I really enjoyed being able to do chat too. The one upside to being on bed-rest. Lol.
Faye Leong
Another colorful and tasty dish....yummy! This will be one of my must try Mexican food challenge. Thanks for sharing with us, Kim!
Kim Bee
Thanks Faye. I loved that this was easy and quick. Some days you just need to get in and get out.
Anita at Hungry Couple
I like wimpy, watered down Americanized Mexican food so this is right up my alley. Also, chicken fajitas are my favorite thing to order in a Mexican restaurant. Feel better!
Kim Bee
Glad I'm not the only one.
Thanks. I'm getting there. One nap at a time.
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious
I haven't had chicken fajitas in ages so I most definitely have to give this a try! I love how easy it is to make too - makes it perfect for a weeknight meal!
Kim Bee
I usually opt for beef so this was a nice change. So easy, I was in and out in under 30ish minutes or so. Not too shabby. It would have been quicker if I hadn't have stepped on glass right before stepping into the kitchen. Lol.
mellissa@ibreatheimhungry
Hey chick! Good to see that even though your still down, you're not out, and that you're at least back to making delicious food! Looking forward to having you back in full force and your usual sassy self! Hang in there! XO
Kim Bee
Never out, just not built that way. Although this incident had me second guessing that. I may need to make some major adjustments though. See I'll be a healthy blogger one day like you. Just taking me longer to wake up to the smack upside the head, thick and all that. *giggles*
Thanks lady. Happy to be back and semi normal. For me.
chattering kitchen
Love fajitas and they look so beautiful in your pics. Wow
Kim Bee
Thanks so much. Nothing like a pop of colour to brighten them up.
Kelsey @ K&K Test Kitchen
You are a rockstar Kim! Great pictures and a yummy recipe even when you are still recovering. Hope your health gets back on track soon.
Kim Bee
Awe thanks Kels. Trust me I wasn't feeling like one recently. I'll be back to normal soon. Been resting up like crazy.
Rachel @ My Naturally Frugal Family
Kim so sorry that you have been so ill. I look forward to your return 🙂 In the mean time I will have pizza in your honor!
Kim Bee
Now there's a gal who rises to the occasion. I adore anyone who knows me well enough to eat pizza in my honor. Thanks for the support Rachel, it means a lot. xx
Jennie @themessybakerblog
Oh no, Kim, I hope you feel better soon! These fajitas look delicious, and I'll take a fajita any way I can get it. I'm so glad you're back. Looking forward to your road trip recap.
Kim Bee
Thanks Jennie. I'm starting to feel sort of better so I'm getting there. I can't wait to share the photos. We had so much fun before the wheels fell off. Lol.
Kristen
Sheesh, Girl, this is awful...your health, I mean, Not the food. The food is great. I love fajitas. I even posted some this last weekend, too. It's the other stuff that's awful. So sorry you are having to go through this. Fingers crossed, toes crossed, eyes crossed that you will be feeling better soon!!!
Kim Bee
Apparently I live by the philosophy of "go big or go home". Lol. I went home this time. After a hospital visit and loaded up on drugs in the backseat of my car. Nothing like life smacking you in the head to wake you up. I'm hopeful once we get everything sorted I'll be right as rain. Just starting to come out of my drug haze now and making sense of it all.
Hope you are well. And hubs. I owe you an email. I haven't forgotten. Talk soon. xx
Frank @ Kraemers Culinary Blog
I hope you feel better soon. The Chicken Fajitas look fantastic. The perfect dish on a Sunday afternoon.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Frank. I am already feeling on the mend. I'm sure a home cooked meal helped. Nothing like kitchen therapy to get a gal feeling better.
Suzanne Perazzini
This looks pretty good to me, spicy or not. Just having all those peppers in there makes it delicious.
I am so sorry about your continued woes - not fair at all. I am surprised you are able to blog at all. Hang in there.
Kim Bee
Thanks Suzanne. I am a pepper addict. Just love them.
You are so sweet. I'll be okay. It's been an interesting, eye opening adventure for sure. I think I needed a wake up call though. I always figure things happen for a reason.
Abby
So glad you're feeling better 🙂 I've never met a mexican dish I didn't like, these fajitas look great!
Kim Bee
Thanks and thanks. I love the way you think.
