Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tsp fajita seasoning
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Sizzle the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and stir-fry for about 7-10 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Add the veggies: Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking until they’re softened—about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Season it up: Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the chicken and veggies. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Prepare your base: While the chicken and veggies are cooking, heat your cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice according to package instructions.
- Assemble your bowls: In a nice bowl, layer your base first (preferably warm), then top with the sizzling chicken and veggie mixture.
Notes
Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of guacamole, or drizzle with hot sauce for added flavor.
