Steps

1. Wash the vegetables and chicken5 min
First, let’s sanitize the vegetables and wash the chicken breasts.
2. Cut the chicken breast and vegetables
Once cleaned, place the chicken breasts, bell peppers, and onion on a cutting board to chop everything into strips, as shown in the image.
3. Marinate the fajitas20 min
Now place the strips in a deep dish and add salt, pepper, minced garlic, oregano, (mustard—optional), Worcestershire sauce, and a little olive oil. Then let them marinate and rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Sauté the fajitas6 min
Once the fajitas are ready, sauté them in a skillet with hot olive oil over medium heat for about 6 minutes, being careful to cook them until they are golden brown on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside, as shown in the image, then remove them from the pan.
5. Sauté the vegetables7 min
In the same skillet, sauté the vegetables—which we’ve cut into strips—for about 5–7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally so they become tender and nicely browned, as shown in the image.
6. Mix the vegetables and the fajitas2 min
Finally, add the fajitas to the sautéed vegetables along with a little salt, paprika, and a splash of soy sauce, then mix everything together.
7. Ready to serve
You have prepared chicken fajitas, ready to be served in tacos with your choice of side dishes.
