'Lazy Fajita Fiesta' — with only 5 ingredients and a single skillet, it’s the easiest lazy chicken fajita dinner for any night of the week!

There's something about the simplicity of a good chicken fajita that takes me back to the bustling kitchens of my childhood. While it might not be a traditional Midwestern dish, the idea of gathering around the table with family, sharing stories and laughter, is universal. This 5-ingredient lazy chicken fajita recipe is perfect for those days when you want something hearty and delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. It's a nod to the past with a modern twist, bringing the warmth of a home-cooked meal to your table with minimal fuss.

These chicken fajitas pair beautifully with a side of classic Midwestern coleslaw or a simple corn salad. If you're feeling a bit more indulgent, a scoop of creamy mashed potatoes or a slice of homemade cornbread would complement the flavors wonderfully. And don't forget a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese to top it all off.

Servings: 4

1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1 packet of fajita seasoning mix
2 bell peppers, sliced (any color you prefer)
1 large onion, sliced
8 flour tortillas

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chicken strips and sprinkle with the fajita seasoning mix.

2. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's browned and cooked through.

3. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the chicken.

4. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

5. Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet, then fill each with the chicken and vegetable mixture.

6. Serve immediately, letting everyone add their favorite toppings.

For a bit of a kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the skillet. If you prefer a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for sliced portobello mushrooms or extra firm tofu. You can also add a can of drained black beans for extra protein and fiber. For a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas instead of flour.
