Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large white onion sliced
  • 3 cups bell peppers sliced (any combination of green, red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 tortillas corn or flour
  • desired toppings avocados, pico de gallo, limes, cheese, cilantro, sour cream, etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to broil on low and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade and set it aside.
  • Place the sliced bell peppers (3 cups) and sliced large white onion on a large sheet pan in a single layer.
  • Pour the reserved 1/4 cup marinade over the peppers and onions and toss on the sheet pan to coat evenly.
  • Put the chicken breasts in the remaining marinade in the bowl and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Place the marinated chicken breasts on the sheet pan with the peppers and onions, spacing them apart.
  • Broil on low for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the chicken and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the chicken rest until cool enough to handle, then slice the chicken against the grain.
  • Warm the tortillas if desired and assemble fajitas by dividing sliced chicken, peppers, and onions among tortillas and adding desired toppings.
