Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas #Recipe @PegCochran

 


This dinner is quick and easy and customizable to your taste. Use whatever color peppers you like--red, orange, green--or a combination of all of them.  And if you have peppers in your garden--a bonus!  We enjoyed these topped with shredded cheddar cheese (hubby wants shredded cheese on anything Mexican or Tex-Mex) and some sour cream.  If you like cilantro, feel free to sprinkle some on as well.  Feel free to use your own fajita seasoning, but this was very good--not too spicy since hubby can't tolerate anything too hot. This is adapted from a recipe on the Skinnyish Dish.

 

1 lb. chicken breast cut into thin slices (it’s easier if the meat is slightly frozen)

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 red onion, cut into strips

2-3 medium bell peppers, cut into strips    

3 tsp oil, divided

Cooking spray

Salt and pepper, to taste

Tortillas

Juice of one lime and cilantro  (optional)

 

 

Fajita Seasoning

1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1½ tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp oregano
¼ tsp. pepper

 

Mix fajita seasonings together and set aside.

 


 

Dry chicken well with paper towels. 

 


 

Add chicken to a bowl, sprinkle with fajita seasoning, cornstarch and drizzle with 2 tsp oil. Stir to completely coat chicken.

Add peppers and onions to bowl and drizzle with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir again.

Preheat air fryer (if required by your air fryer) to 400 degrees. Spray basket with cooking spray and add chicken mixture. 


 

Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking basket occasionally to ensure even cooking.   


 

Warm tortillas in microwave covered with a paper towel.  Or grill briefly over an open flame.

Add chicken/pepper mixture to tortillas.  Top with desired toppings—cilantro, sour cream, squirt of lime juice.

An unscrupulous realtor pays the ultimate closing costs in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran!

Autumn is settling in on Cranberry Cove, but things are starting to heat up when Monica’s stepmother shows up at her back door gripped by panic. Gasping out an explanation, she tells Monica she’d been dozing in her realtor’s car when he was shot dead. Refusing to alert the police for fear that the killer will target her next—or that the police will consider her their prime suspect—Monica’s stepmother goes mute, and Monica decides to track down the culprit herself to clear her name and keep her safe.

Finding the killer won’t be so easy, though, as the victim had run afoul of buyers, sellers, and even other realtors at one time or another, and it seems that nearly everyone in the small town had a reason to want him dead. Even more puzzling is that the deeper Monica digs into the background and final days of the victim, the more the clues point to her stepmother. Then a second body is found, and Monica realizes she’s going up against a devious killer who will stop at nothing to put everyone involved out of commission . . .
