Chicken Fajitas: A Simple and Flavorful Meal

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime zest and juice, chopped chipotle chiles in adobo, ground cumin, smoked paprika, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the chicken marinate to soak up the flavors.

2. Prepare the Vegetables

Slice the bell peppers and large red onion into 1/4-inch strips. Toss them on a sheet pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, making sure they're lightly coated.

3. Cook the Chicken

Spread the marinated chicken in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside.

4. Broil the Vegetables

Broil the prepared vegetables for 2 to 5 minutes until they get a nice char and are smoky and sweet.

5. Warm the Tortillas

Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel or foil and warm them directly on the oven rack for about a minute until they are pliable and toasty.

6. Assemble and Serve

Lay out the cooked chicken, charred vegetables, and warm tortillas on serving plates. Invite everyone to build their own fajitas with their favorite toppings.
