How to cook chicken fajita?
And yes, everything is cooked in one tray… Seasoned chicken, pepper and salsa are all roasted on the same plate at the same time. So, for the Pineapple Salsa Verde and Chicken Fajita recipe you will only infect one dish and a blender.
For chicken, my favorite combination of Mexican spices – chilli pepper, smoked paprika, thyme and garlic powder. This combo covers the uniformity of the chicken very well.
In the first step, arrange the chicken, peppers and onions on the tray. Do this on one side of the tray so you can leave room for salsa ingredients. For salsa you will collect fresh peppers and green onions.
These will only take 20 minutes to cook.
