Ingredients

Marinade

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime juiced and zested
1.5 teaspoons chilli powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Fajita Bowls

1 cup brown rice
2 tablespoons olive oil divided
1.5 lbs chicken breast boneless skinless
3 large bell peppers
½ sweet onion use a whole onion if you prefer
cilantro and limes for garnish

Instructions

In a medium bowl whisk together the ingredients for the marinade.
Cut the chicken into thin slices, and add to the marinade. Mix the chicken around so it's covered in the marinade. Then cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours or while you make the rice and prep the veggies.
Make the rice according to the package instructions and set aside.
Thinly slice the peppers and onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the chicken (discard the extra marinade), and flip the chicken occasionally until cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Drain/wipe any excess liquid from the skillet.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, add in the onion and peppers and stir fry until tender but still crunchy.
Add back in the chicken back into the skillet and toss until warm and the flavors mix together.
To assemble, divide the rice between 4 to 6 bowls/containers. Add the chicken and peppers overtop. Garnish with cilantro and lime slices, or however you prefer.
