    Air Fryer Dinner Recipe:

    I got my air fryer just 4 months ago and I can't stop using it. It's quick and easy and the food it always delicious. These Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas are so simple to make and one of my favorite dinner recipes. 

    Ingredients:

    Chicken Breast: I used boneless and skinless chicken breast that I sliced into strips. You can also use chicken tenderloins for this recipe as well.

    Bell Peppers: I love using a variety of colors for my bell peppers. We used a little green, yellow, red, and orange.

    Onion: I liked using a red onion for this recipe.

    Oil: For this recipe you can use any oil you have on hand.

    Fajita Seasoning: You can make your own or find it pre-made in stores. You can easily substitute this with taco seasoning.

    How to make Chicken Fajitas in the Air Fryer:

    Step one: Get started by slicing your chicken into strips and place in a large freezer bag or mixing bowl with peppers and onions.

    Add in oil and massage or mix until chicken and veggies are coated.

    Step two: Next you can add the fajita seasoning and mix until chicken and veggies are coated.

    Go ahead and cook right away or leave in the fridge to marinate overnight. I

    love prepping this meal to save me some time later.

    Step three: Now you can pour the chicken from bag or bowl to air fryer basket and cook at 360° F for 10 minutes then remove the basket and stir all ingredients.

    Return basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and reached an internal temperature of 165° F.
