You can use chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins.
You can make your own fajita seasoning instead of using a packet. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp Cumin, 1 Tbsp Chili Powder, 1 Tsp Granulated Sugar, 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika, 1 Tsp Onion Powder, 1 Tsp Garlic Powder, and 1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper. Mix well!

How To Know If Chicken Is Cooked

Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.

Ensure to check the middle or center of the chicken, giving you a more accurate reading of the chicken’s internal temperature.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning

While you can easily use package fajitas seasoning, I often make my own, and it’s prepared with seasonings that you have on hand.

My foolproof recipe is: In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp Cumin, 1 Tbsp Chili Powder, 1 Tsp Granulated Sugar, 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika, 1 Tsp Onion Powder, 1 Tsp Garlic Powder, and 1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper. Mix well!

This is a great spice to have on hand since you can season anything from chicken, tacos, meat, and it’s so great on roasted potatoes!
