jeffraben.com/recipes · No. 70
Sliced chicken and peppers cooked on a griddle and served in warm tortillas with toppings.
Ingredients
Method
- Marinate the Chicken: If using my marinade, make it first and marinate the chicken for 1 to 6 hours. If using a fajita seasoning packet, you can add that later during cooking.
- Preheat the Griddle: Heat your griddle to 375°F.
- Warm the Tortillas: Place tortillas directly on the ungreased griddle and heat for 1 minute per side. Wrap them in a clean towel and place in a bowl to keep warm.
- Cook the Veggies: Add a small amount of oil to the griddle and spread it around. Place sliced onions and bell peppers on the griddle. Toss every few minutes until softened and slightly charred.
- Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the griddle with space between each piece—do not crowd or pile. Cook for 4–5 minutes, then flip each piece individually to get a good sear on both sides.
- Finish the Chicken: Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Combine and Season: Add the cooked chicken to the veggies. Squirt with a bit of water to deglaze the griddle and pull up the seasoning.
- Add Seasoning (if using packet): If you didn't use my marinade, this is when you add the fajita seasoning packet. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Serve with warm tortillas, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
