Ingredients

CHICKEN FAJITAS

  • 1½ lbs Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breast
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper seeded and sliced
  • 1 Poblano Pepper sliced
  • 1 Sweet Onion sliced thin
  • 10 small Flour Tortillas
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice

SALSA VERDE

  • 3/4 lbs Tomatillos husks removed
  • 4 Garlic Cloves peeled
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 1/2 cup White Onion
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

SHEET PAN CHICKEN

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees ℉.
  • In a large bowl toss the sliced Chicken with the Chili Powder, Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, and 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. Place on one side of a rimmed baking sheet in one even layer.
  • Toss the Bell Pepper, Poblano Pepper, and Onion with the remaining Olive Oil and set on the other side of the baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and cook for 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (or reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees ℉). Remove from the oven and toss everything together.
  • Serve with warmed tortillas and top with Steamed Rice and Salsa Verde (recipe instructions below).

SALSA VERDE

  • Set the oven to BROIL.
  • Remove the outer husks from the Tomatillos and rise. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and broil for 10 to 15 minutes or until the tomatillos begin to brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and place in a blender or food processor. Add the Garlic, Cilantro, Lime Juice, Cumin, and Salt. Pulse until desired consistency is reached (Remember to hot ingredients expand when placed in a blender or processor so be careful).
  • Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
