Equipment

Ingredients

3 lbs chicken breast
1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
1 yellow bell pepper sliced into strips
1 medium white onion sliced
2 tbsp avocado oil
3-4 tbsp fajita seasoning
1 tsp garlic optional
¼ tsp salt optional
⅛ tsp pepper optional

Instructions

Prep chicken, cut into strips. Next, prep your veggies by cutting bell pepper flesh into strips and onions into strips.
3 lbs chicken breast, 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 medium white onion
Preheat air fryer to 400F. Prep air fryer. I have a stainless steel basket in an oven-style air fryer, so I spray it with cooking spray and place foil under the tray. If you have a basket-style air fryer, you may not need to do anything.
Toss veggies in half the oil and one tablespoon of seasoning, plus half the garlic, salt, and pepper. Place in the air fryer. *Toss chicken strips in oil and 2-3 tablespoons of seasoning and the remaining rest of the seasonings. Place in the air fryer.* (The general rule is one tablespoon of seasoning per pound of chicken.)
2 tablespoon avocado oil, 3-4 tablespoon fajita seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Cook for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Serve with desired fajita toppings; we used lettuce cups!

Notes

*You can toss veggies with seasoning separately from chicken or throw it all together. Either is fine! I only did it separately because I thought the picture would be prettier.
