HOW TO MAKE THESE LOW CARB CHICKEN FAJITAS The chicken is seasoned with a homemade fajita seasoning mix and a super flavorful cilantro lime marinade. Slice up the onions and peppers and fry them up in your skillet. Brown the chicken and serve hot over some lettuce, cauliflower rice or these coconut wraps.
This original recipe is how most people made chicken fajitas back in the day. It’s a wet marinade and the fajitas taste better when marinated over-night. Unlike the marinade for beef fajitas, there is no garlic in the marinade for these authentic chicken fajitas. It simply overpowers, but add garlic if you like.
Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons for the bell peppers. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped cilantro, lime juice, mustard and 5 teaspoons of the fajita seasonings. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the chicken marinade for drizzling on the chicken at the end. Pour remainder of the marinade into a large zip-top bag along with the chicken.
