Chicken and Veggie Fajita Bowls

Simple Seasoning Mix

While the seasoning mix is straightforward and simple, using pantry-friendly spices, it is absolutely crucial to the overall flavor of these fajita bowls.

salt + pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
cumin
chili powder
paprika (level up with smoked paprika!)
dried oregano

HALF of this seasoning mix is tossed with the chicken.

One Skillet Cooking

The process for cooking the ingredients for these chicken and veggie fajita bowls is quick and easy.

Cook the seasoned chicken in a nonstick skillet until golden and cooked through.
Remove to a plate; cover and keep warm.
Cook the vegetables (with the remaining seasoning mix) until tender.

And that’s it! Seriously, could.not.be.easier.

Assembling Chicken and Veggie Fajita Bowls

Pile the golden chicken and tender veggies in a bowl (or on a plate). You can also add hot, cooked rice or quinoa or other “carby” side if you’d like, but you don’t have to. Carbs optional!

Then…and here’s the fun part…load on all the toppings your heart desires.

shredded cheese
sour cream
guacamole or chopped avocados
salsa (any and all varieties!)
chopped cilantro
crushed tortilla chips
pickled onions
roasted corn kernels (we love the ones from Trader Joe’s)
fresh lime wedges

Family Friendly Customizable Meal

I love meals like this because everyone can put together their fajita bowl as dictated by their own conscience and taste buds. It alleviates stress around feeding picky eaters.

And it also allows those of us (ahem, hi 👋🏼) who adore mushrooms, to load up our fajita bowls with those and leave the rest of the family to live an incomplete life without them.
