Instructions

Prepare & slice/dice the chicken. Put in a gallon Ziploc bag.
Slice the peppers and onion - add them to the chicken, set aside.
Combine the remaining ingredients; oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, cilantro, garlic, salt & pepper into a small bowl, whisk to combine.
Pour marinade over chicken and peppers, seal tightly and mix the marinade throughout the bag to combine.
Put the bag into a large bowl (just in case it springs a leak!). Flip the bag a couple of times to distribute the marinade.
On a hot grill or with a heavy fry pan, heat to medium/medium-high and fry until the veggie are just crisp and the chicken is cooked thru.

The marinade is easy to make. You'll start with the spices - cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic, salt & pepper. Mix that with a little lime juice and olive oil and that's it!

Tips and Variations

If you're serving a crowd, double the recipe and put the veggie and chicken in separate Ziploc bags. That way you can cook them to the right "done-ness" more easily. Also if you have a vegan or vegetarian diners, then you won't have to make a separate dish!
Aren't the colors of the peppers and onions beautiful? This meal is simple and quick! And you know what....if you're lucky enough to have some leftovers, they make a killer omelet on day two!
Or here's another idea add the leftover fajitas to a bowl of crunchy lettuce. Add salsa and a bit of sour cream - instant salad!

I've even used leftovers to make Fajita Soup, I do love leftovers! 😋
