Note/Tips

  • Cut the chicken into slice. Do not forget to look for right size- steak small enough in a 12 inch skillet. Try to cut the chicken fajitas about 1 inch in thickness. I recommend you to avoid having chicken fajitas in thin thickness because they will cook very quickly and there s chance to get burn early.
  • You can use any kind of skillet but I prefer you to use cast iron skillet pan which will giver awesome sear on your chicken fajitas.
