It'll depend how thick your meat is, but normally I do it 3 - 5 minutes per side. Pan fry at medium-high heat until chicken is cooked through. If you're really in a rush, marinade for at least three hours. Combine all the ingredients except the peppers in a Ziploc bag and marinade the chicken overnight.Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make two thinner chicken breast cutlets.sliced onions and peppers if pan frying, optional.2 pounds (907 grams) of skinless, boneless chicken breast.It’ll be our first trip together since last May and I’m beyond ready! Any Polish food recommendations? If you want to try a fun variation of regular fajitas, try this veggie fajita pasta from Go Dairy Free! If you just dump the onions in with the chicken, then the chicken will more or less boil, rather than fry. Cook the chicken, reserving the marinade, and then cook the peppers and onion in the reserved marinade. To make the onions extra spicy, we add a sliced onion to the bag of chicken marinade. Texanerin is a veggie lover so while I load my tortillas with just chicken and cheese, he gets more fancy + healthy and adds a ton of onions and peppers. I’ve done that a few times and the chicken doesn’t come out as flavorful that way. The fajita marinade is simple and the only way you can really mess it up is if you add too much chicken. Until then, all I can recommend is a lettuce leaf, which is 99.9% less delicious than a tortilla. I’d love to at least link to a grain-free tortilla recipe but every one I’ve tried has been inedible. It’s a pretty hard recipe to mess up! You may need to add a little more flour or liquid depending on what type of flour you use but it’s such a small amount it doesn’t throw the other ingredients off. Or you can use white whole wheat or a mix of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. You can make them with all whole wheat or whole spelt, but they’ll of course taste clearly of whole grains. These are made with 2 teaspoons of oil (I use coconut oil) and are honestly just as good! I’ve had several Hispanic roommates which resulted in me eating their mothers’ homemade tortillas on a regular basis. I went through about a dozen terrible recipes before I tried these homemade flour tortillas from Homesick Texan. Tortillas have become easier to find in stores but when I first arrived, they weren’t so common, were expensive and unappetizing enough to get me to make my own. I like to think of myself as a food ambassador. We fight over these leftovers and I hate leftovers (unless it’s mac and cheese!) We’ve even had several “Fajita Fridays!” to help educate people about the wonders of fajitas and good tortillas. I’m ridiculously happy I did because these are SO much better. Fajitas aren’t a thing over here, meaning taking the easy way out with pre-marinated fajitas was out, so I begrudgingly switched over to homemade fajitas. I totally admit to buying store-bought pre-seasoned fajitas before moving to Germany about 5 1/2 years ago. ![]()
