“Used three chicken breasts, one red pepper, one sweet onion, and 1/2 c water instead of 1/4 c.I served it with costa rican style beans and rice and cubed avacado topped with lime.Fresh cilantro on top was divine.Thanks for posting.”
“Very easy to throw together on a night you need something fast but still want something low in calories and delicious!”
“For taste this dish is easily at least a 4, but I am adding in that extra star for ease of preperation!My store was out of red peppers so I used an orange in it’s place and left everything else as written.I will definitely make this one again!”
“Husband ate a huge plate of this dish!I added onions and corn and also sprinkled some green onions on top.Served this over white rice.This was very easy to make & is definitely a keeper!Thanks!!”
“MY BF AND SON LOVED THIS!! First thing I’ve ever cooked that my BF didn’t add either hot-sauce, cheese or ketchup to lol. And my 8yr old son gobbled it up. Thanks!”
“This is an easy dish to make. I doubled the recipe but only used three peppers. I also added some green onions (only onions I had) and some garlic powder (because I like to experiment). It was very good over rice. This is a keeper for me. Very tasty. Thanks for a great addition to my cookbook.”
“So simple, yet so flavorful! It literally took 15 minutes from start to finish. You can’t beat that. Everyone loved it. Thank you.”
“I have never ate fajitas so I have nothing to compare them too but we really like these. I used four chicken breasts cut up, one red pepper and one green and about two cups of sweet onion. I added the packet of Taco Bell Fajita season and 1/2 cup of water. I ate mine on rice but hubby and my boys ate it on a burrito with rice. We all really enjoyed these and we will be making them again.”
“Very good and so simple to make.I also added some sweet onion while cooking the peppers.Added more water with fajita mix to coat the chicken and severed over creamy rice.Could easily add some black beans or corn.Topped with salsa and a bit of sour cream.Did not use in tortilla wrap and was perfect.Thanks for posting.”
“Very good. I added some chopped onion.”
“This recipe was just ok for us. I did get the fajita flavor, but it just wasn’t quite the same as actually having fajitas. And the kids didn’t like it (though they don’t like fajitas either, so I’m not really going by their opinion). I probably won’t make this one again.”
“Very easy and very tasty – it just needed more veggies in my household.I added sweet white onion cut in large chunks and mushrooms.I cooked it completely without oil in a non-stick pan.This is a great weeknight dinner that is easy on the waistline.Thanks for posting!”
“I loved, loved, loved this.Very easy and tasty too. I added a yellow onion because I can’t imagine a fajita without onion. We tried it in tortillas and just over rice and I preferred the over rice style. I will double this next time because it was so good.”
“We really enjoyed this, though I did make some changes. I added a small yellow onion and cooked it with the pepppers, I also used a green pepper instead of a red because that was what I had. Also, I served this in a tortilla and added somesour cream as to personal preference. My boyfriend said that he liked thisjust as well as Chipotle burritos. Fast and easy recipe that I will probably make again. Thanks!”
“Oh this was GOOOOOD!I added onion, but that was all I changed.Was great cause my kids just ate the chicken and rice, which left all the veggies for hubby and me.Def a keeper.Thanks!”
“This recipe was really good! The only changes I made were to replace one of the peppers with a sliced onion, and I for the rice I used a packet of Uncle Ben’s Sante Fe brown rice medley. It was very filling, we didn’t even end up putting it in tortillas.”
“This was great. I used taco seasoning since I didn’t have any fajita seasoning, but it was awesome. I was worried about the rice becoming mushy, but it was perfect. Thank you!”
“This is super easy and really tasty.Someone mentioned rolling the mixture up in tortillas, and I’ll be doing that with the leftovers.I decided to cook the rice in with the flavorings, so I sauteed sliced onions & peppers in a little oil, when they were done added 1 cup uncooked rice and stirred for a few minutes.Then I added the fajita seasoning, the chicken and then two cups of water.”
“Great dish and very easy to make.Switched the pepper to onion because that is what I had.Will be making again!!”
“These were so easy to throw together after a long day at work. I added an onion in with the peppers and omitted the cheese. My bf has already asked me to make them again this week.”
