Chicken Fajita Bowls

Chicken Fajita Bowls need to become a daily occurrence in my life. Oh man, this recipe is insanely good. I have been making fajitas for years but have never written down the recipe or tried to fine-tune it. The beauty of blogging recipes is that I actually take time to do that instead of just throwing a bunch of ingredients here and there and then forgetting what I have done. This happens more than I would actually like to admit. I have said this many times but I wish I had someone in the kitchen that could write down the recipe for me while I cooked.

Sometimes I think I am surprised at just how GOOD a recipe turns out and this was one of them. Even my husband was like, “babe! This dish is insanely good. It is a great easy, weeknight meal and even the perfect dish  for food prep. The only thing you really have to plan for is the one-hour marinating time. I made a big batch of these chicken fajitas last week and we ate on it for a couple days.

You can serve it with some Cilantro Cauliflower Rice if you want a low carb options or even my Pineapple Coconut Rice would be amazing or you can throw it in a shell for Taco Tuesday! Really the options are pretty endless.

Enjoy!
