Chicken Fajitas.
Two of our favorite words in the world. Fajitas have become a fixture in Tex-Mex cuisine. And for good reason.
These fajitas, with all the fixings, are truly as good as they come.

Watch us show you how easy it is to make these incredible Chicken Fajitas at home!
A simple marinade of white wine, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice and soy sauce locks in the flavor.
We place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a baggie with the marinade.
2 hours, or even better, overnight, in the fridge is perfect for marinating the chicken.
APPLY THE RUB LIBERALLY FOR CHICKEN FAJITAS
After the chicken has been removed from the marinade, we place the pieces in a large baking dish or pan.
Use your fingers to sprinkle on the rub.
The spices in the rub are similar to blackening, but the flavors are not too intense. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
THE ONIONS CAN BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME
While the meat is marinating, it's a good time to get the onions going.
We like to cook them until they just begin to caramelize. You can add strips of green, red, and yellow bell peppers for flavor and color, too.
Our secret flavor boost for the onions is a few splashes of soy. It works beautifully with the sweetness of the onions as they begin to soften and caramalize
We think grilling the seasoned chicken pieces on a hot grill is perfect for chicken fajitas, but you can also cook in a large, sturdy, hot skillet.
Grill (or sauté) until browned on the outside (it's okay if it chars a little, it's supposed to do that) and nice and juicy on the inside.
You'll want the inside temperature of the meat to be at around 155°F to 160°F. The meat will continue to cook as it rests for about 5 minutes after grilling/sautéing.
CUT THE CHICKEN ON A DIAGONAL ACROSS THE GRAIN
After the chicken has rested for about 5 minutes, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the chicken on a diagonal, across the grain.
At this point, you'll want to make sure you've got your fajita pan over high heat.
And get your onions heated up and all the fixings ready to go.
ALL THE FIXIN'S ARE A MUST FOR CHICKEN FAJITAS
Our favorite additions to our Amazing Chicken Fajitas are as follows:
Once the fajita pan is piping hot, add the onions, and then the sliced chicken.
