You know those nights when you’re like, WTF should I make? I have them more than i care to admit and 99% of the time my answer comes in the form of fajitas and DIY Burrito Bowls. In the spirit of mixing things up a little bit, I present to you my Poblano Chicken Fajitas. This dish is my jam and also goes really well in a bowl. You can thank me later

Loaded with various bell peppers, onions and my most favorite part…. poblano peppers! You can serve this up on top of a salad, wrapped up in a tortilla, folded into a taco, tossed with some quinoa or rice or just eat it on it’s own and add a giant dollop of guacamole on top. Fajitas are a way of life and I thought you should all have a fool-proof recipe that will literally solve all your “WTF is for dinner” problems!! Bonus - doubles as the best lunch to take to work the following day.
You’re welcome 🙂

Poblano Chicken Fajitas

Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about the size of your finger. Combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder and red pepper flakes in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the chicken and marinate for 1 hour.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken mixture, marinade included, and sauté until fully cooked.
