Prep: 15 min · Cook: 12 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
• 2 medium bell peppers
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
• 1 lime
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Stem and seed the peppers, then cut them into 1-inch pieces. Cut the onion into 1-inch chunks. (about 5 min) — 400°F
2. Add the chicken, peppers, onion, olive oil, fajita seasoning, and salt to a bowl. Toss until evenly coated. (about 3 min)
3. Arrange the mixture in the air fryer basket in a mostly even layer; cook in two batches if needed to avoid crowding. (about 1 min) — 400°F
4. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is browned and reaches 165°F in the thickest pieces. (about 12 min) — 400°F
5. Transfer to a serving bowl and squeeze the lime over the fajita bites. Toss briefly and serve hot. (about 1 min)
