Chicken Fajitas is one of those dishes I can make at home and the whole family will eat it! I mean chicken is one of the proteins that even the pickiest of eaters will eat as well. Now making them at home allows for you to make a bigger batch for a fraction f the price you would pay in a restaurant. (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now, typically I grill up my chicken meat on the grill for my chicken fajitas. I have to say now that I have done them on my Blackstone griddle I don’t think I can go to do them any other way. Using boneless chicken will make for the smoothest chicken fajita experience. Plus you can grill them up on the Blackstone grill alongside Steak Fajitas and Shrimp Fajitas as well.

Chicken Fajitas Directions:
Start with a container or a bag to allow the meat to marinate before cooking.
In a bowl or bag combine your Taco Seasoning, Fajita seasoning, Chili Lime Seasoning, Olive Oil, water, Tequila, and lime juice. Now there isn’t much of measuring it mostly depends on how seasoned you like your meat.
Slice up your chicken breasts into strips, you can use chicken thighs just know that the fajitas will be greaser when you cook them than if you use chicken breasts.
Allow the chicken to marinate Fajita marinade for at last a couple of hours to overnight I allowed mine to set for about four hours. The marinating will allow for the meat to get tender from the tequila and the lime.
Before you are ready to fire up the griddle cut up your peppers onions.
Now a good knife is a must-have in any kitchen! I picked up this Aicok Knife (HERE)for under $10, but it’s keeps going out of stock often on Amazon due to how awesome it is. There are a lot of other top-rated knives on Amazon at a great price. I am not the best at picking out Knives so when I can read reviews to find a good quality knife it’s a win for me.

For Fajitas I recommend cutting the pepper into quarters and then sliced them into long slices.
Slice your onions into long thing sides as well.
When you are ready to start cooking fire up your Blackstone griddle.
Reoil your griddle, reoiling ensures that your griddle won’t stick and that it will cook well.
When your griddle is hot and ready to cook turn the heat down on low.
Turn your heat down to low and drop the meat and marinade onto the griddle.
Stir your meat often using the spatulas that came in the Blackstone Griddle Accessories kit.
When your meat is almost done start to mix in your veggies into your meat. I made this at the same time as shrimp fajitas and steak fajitas so I spread my veggies out amongst those.
Cook until your veggies are tender and your meat is cooked.
Remove and serve!
