Grilled Fajita Chicken

Recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod

Ingredients

  • For the fajita seasoning:
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 2 large limes
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 8 small chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 5 large bell peppers use a mix of colors, cut into strips
  • 2 small red onions cut into strips

Instructions

  • 1. In a small pan, mix together fajita seasoning ingredients. Heat over medium low until hot. Let seasoning cool to room temperature. Pour seasoning over chicken breasts, reserving a little of the seasoning for the peppers and onions. Sprinkle chicken with green onions and let marinate for 30 minutes. Toss the peppers and onions with remaining seasoning.
  • 2. Preheat the grill to high heat. Place the chicken directly on the grill. Cook each side for about 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. While the chicken is cooking, grill the onions and peppers on a grill pan. Grill until vegetables are tender.
  • 3. Serve chicken breasts with pepper and onions. If desired, serve Bush's Black Bean Fiesta Grillin' Beans on the side.
