Chicken Fajitas-style sizzling skillet chicken peppers

Ingredients

Chicken

• 4 chicken breast fillets, sliced into strips
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of 2 limes
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt

Fajitas

• 3 bell peppers (mixed colours), sliced
• 2 large onions, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt + black pepper

To serve

• 8 small flour tortillas, warmed
• Sour cream
• Guacamole
• Salsa
• Fresh coriander
• Lime wedges

Method

1. Marinate. Mix chicken with oil, lime juice, spices, salt. Rest 30 minutes.
2. Sear. Heat cast iron skillet until smoking. Sear chicken in batches, 3 minutes per batch. Remove.
3. Veg. In the same pan, add oil. Cook peppers + onions on high heat until charred at edges, 8 minutes.
4. Combine. Return chicken. Toss through. Season.
5. Serve. Straight to the table on the cast iron. With warmed tortillas + toppings.

Tips

• Cast iron, screaming hot, to the table. That sizzle sells it.
• Marinate the chicken at least 30 minutes. Lime juice tenderises and seasons.
• Char the peppers hard. Black bits = smoky depth.
