Instructions

Step 1

Marinate the Chicken:

Step 2

In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create the chicken marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, making sure it's well coated. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 4

Cook the Fajita Vegetables:

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Cook the Marinated Chicken:

Step 8

In a separate skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 11

Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

Step 12

In the same skillet you used for the chicken, add the cauliflower rice. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it's heated through and tender.

Step 13

Assemble the Fajita Bowl:

Step 14

Divide the cauliflower rice among three bowls.

Step 15

Top each bowl with the sautéed fajita vegetables and cooked chicken.
