Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Boneless chicken strips or about 450 gm.
  • 1 green pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow pepper sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 3 tbsp. fajita seasoning see recipe for Notes
  • 3 tsp. Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into strips if not already cut. Cut peppers and onion into thick strips.
  • Mix together chicken and veggie strips with oil and fajita seasoning.
  • Preheat air fryer at 200C or 390F for 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken and veggie strips with seasoning to air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 200C or 390F for about 14 minutes till chicken is done and veggies are browned on the edges.
  • Check using a meat thermometer that the chicken is at 165F or 75C temperature. Don’t overcook the chicken or it gets string.
  • Take it out and serve hot. Check serving suggestions above the recipe card.
  • Your delicious succulent chicken fajitas are done. Enjoy.

Notes

1. Cut chicken strips and vegetables in similar shaped strips. Don’t cut veggies too thin or they will burn.
2. Use a meat thermometer to check if chicken is done. The temperature should reach 165F for chicken to be cooked through.
3. I use a combination of peppers and onion along with chicken but you can add other veggies of choice too that take similar time in cooking. Mushrooms, green beans, carrots work well here.
4. I have used fajita seasoning but you can use any seasoning of choice. If you don’t have a ready seasoning mix, make your own. 1 tbsp. each chili powder, ground cumin and garlic powder; 1 tsp. each onion powder, cayenne, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt and ½ tsp. pepper. Mix together and use 3 tbsp. in the recipe.
5. I use chicken breast strips but you can use boneless leg strips as well.
6. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer or your fajitas may end up being steamed instead of roasted.
7. The air frying time will vary a bit depending upon the size of your chicken strips and the model of your air fryer.
