Easy Skillet Chicken Fajitas are a delicious, easy dish your family will love!

We love easy chicken recipes! Some of our favorites include Easy Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings with Biscuits and Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo.

EASY SKILLET CHICKEN FAJITAS

Whenever we go out to eat, one of my favorite things to order is chicken fajitas. They’re so delicious, and such a treat! They can get a bit pricey, though. I decided to try my hand at making them at home!

I think you’ll really like the results. My family loves my Easy Skillet Chicken Fajitas – and I love how easy (and inexpensive) they are to make!

DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT TO MAKE EASY SKILLET CHICKEN FAJITAS?

That’s one of the beautiful things about this recipe…you probably already have everything you need! Using a cast iron skillet will give you that “restaurant fajita” taste, but these fajitas are delicious in a regular skillet as well!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH EASY SKILLET CHICKEN FAJITAS?

This recipe is so flexible! You can serve Easy Skillet Chicken Fajitas in a simple way, just letting their naturally delicious flavor shine. However, you can also make a whole theme night out of it and set up a fajita bar for your family to enjoy! It could include homemade or store-bought tortillas, shredded cheese, guacamole, and whatever other fixings your family prefers. Have fun with it!

WILL EASY SKILLET CHICKEN FAJITAS FREEZE WELL?

This recipe freezes very well! You can easily make a freezer meal out of the prepped ingredients, but you can also freeze any leftovers. Feel free to double or triple the recipe to make sure you’ll have extras on hand!

I hope you love this recipe as much as we do! It’s easy enough to be a regular on our meal rotation, and it’s always a crowd pleaser!

This recipe is a family favorite. When we forget to plan anything, as long as we have the right ingredients on hand, we will often turn to this as our go-to, easy skillet meal.

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
