This colorful Chicken Fajita Rice combines tender chicken, vibrant bell peppers, and aromatic spices for a quick and flavorful Mexican-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: sliced jalapeños or sour cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.
  7. Add the cooked rice and stir everything together until heated through.
  8. Remove from heat, squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with optional jalapeños or sour cream if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in lime juice and fajita seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking.
