Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, if you don't have this you can substitute regular chili powder instead
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin

Instructions
- Add oil, lime juice, both chili powders, cumin, paprika, garlic and onion powder to a ziplock bag. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade.Add in chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Spray a cast iron skillet or a regular skillet with cooking spray.Add the chicken and cook over medium-high heat until cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side.Take the chicken out of the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile add the peppers, onions and the reserved marinade to the same pan the chicken was in. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
- While the peppers are cooking slice the chicken breast.Toss the chicken back into the pan with the peppers.Serve immediately with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired. I like to serve these Chicken Fajitas with flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa and guacamole!
