Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 medium bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 6 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s crispy.
  2. Once the bacon is crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the pan and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor.
  3. In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat for about 1 minute. Then, add the sliced chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the chicken and veggies. Stir well to combine, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the crispy bacon. Mix everything until evenly distributed.
  8. Serve the chicken fajita mixture in bowls and top with diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and chopped cilantro if desired. Garnish with lime wedges for an extra zest.

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken; this can lead to steaming instead of browning. Using a cast-iron skillet can enhance the flavor and achieve better browning compared to non-stick pans.
