Awesome fajita recipe! My only addition to the recipe is to add fresh cilantro and triple the marinade for 3 lb. of chicken, which served 8 with zero leftover.

This recipe was awesome!!!! I did the ingredients exactly. I sauteed the onions and peppers in the pan and set them aside. I put the chicken in that same pan and stuck it in the oven and broiled it was super juicy! Then added the onions and pepper back to the pan with the chicken and broiled everything together for a few minutes it turned out perfect! It was completely gone! We will be making often for sure! Loved it!

These were absolutely AWESOMTASTIC!!!

I marinated the chicken for 6 hours and used 4 bell peppers and 3 onions and 3 lbs. of chicken tenderloins cut into 3 sections apiece.

I couldn't believe how simple and easy these were!!

These will be made again!!
