Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

How to Make Chicken Fajita Bowl

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
2. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
3. While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
4. To assemble the bowls, place a generous scoop of rice at the bottom of each serving bowl.
5. Top the rice with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by a drizzle of sour cream.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spices and olive oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking; work in batches if necessary.
• Feel free to add other veggies like zucchini or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
• Make it a burrito bowl by adding black beans, corn, and avocado.
• Spice it up with jalapeños or hot sauce if you like heat.

What to Serve With It

• Tortilla chips and salsa for a crunchy side.
• A light salad with lime vinaigrette.
• Guacamole for an extra creamy addition.
