Ingredients
Chicken Fajitas & Roasted Peppers
- 1 lb. chicken breasts (or use already cooked rotisserie chicken!)
- 4 bell peppers
- 1 onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 Tablespoon fajita seasoning See recipe below to make your own!
- salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 2 avocados
- 1 cup fresh salsa
- cilantro
- 1 lime sliced
Fajita Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
- Preheat your broiler. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, remove the stems, and scoop out the seeds. Rub the insides and outsides with a little oil, then place on a lined baking sheet.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes per side, until softened slightly. If any char forms on the skin, allow the peppers to cool and then rub it off with your thumbs.
- Dice the onion and garlic and set it aside.
- Prepare the cauliflower rice (I saute the frozen kind straight from a bag over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed and beginning to brown). Slice the lime and avocados.
Prepare the Chicken
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces & season with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken in, stirring occasionally. Once the chicken begins to brown, add the onion to the pan and sauté together for another 5 minutes.
- Stir in the fajita seasoning and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook together for about 2-3 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
Assemble the Stuffed Peppers
- Spoon the chicken into the peppers with prepared cauliflower rice, your favorite salsa, and sliced avocado, and enjoy!
