• Creating these pitas at home is a straightforward process. With simple, fresh ingredients, you’ll find yourself preparing a dish that rivals fast food chains in flavor and satisfaction.
• Let’s get into the step-by-step instructions that will guide you through this culinary adventure.

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

• In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, and the spices from your seasoning mix. This marinade not only adds flavor but also tenderizes the chicken. Whisk until combined. Add the chicken fillets to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated.
• Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. I often do this in the morning to let the flavors soak in all day!

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

• While the chicken marinates, grab a large skillet. Heat a drizzle of cooking spray over medium heat. Toss in your sliced onions and peppers.
• Sauté until they become tender—around 5 to 7 minutes. The colors alone will uplift your mood and create a lovely aroma. It’s like a mini party in your kitchen!

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

• After your chicken has marinated, take it and place it in the same skillet. Cook on medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until it’s cooked through and has a lovely golden color.
• You can use a meat thermometer if you’re unsure; chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 4: Slice the Chicken

• Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy! Slice the chicken into strips and mix it back in with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 5: Assemble the Pitas

• Grab your pita pockets. You can either warm them slightly in a pan or serve them at room temperature. Fill each pita half with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for that extra burst of flavor. Your tasty Chicken Fajita Pita is ready!
