Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by slicing your chicken breast into thin strips for quick cooking. Toss the chicken with fajita seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, slice your bell peppers and onions into thin strips and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and cook the marinated chicken strips for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown.
In the same skillet, sauté the bell peppers and onions for 5 to 6 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Assemble your Fajitas Chicken Bowl with a base of rice, topped with chicken, sautéed veggies, avocado slices, and cilantro.
