Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with spices, and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes). Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add peppers and onion. Sauté until tender and slightly charred, about 6–8 minutes.
Return chicken to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for 1–2 more minutes to heat through.
While veggies cook, heat cauliflower rice in a separate pan or microwave until tender.
Serve chicken fajita mixture over cauliflower rice. Top with lime juice, cilantro, or avocado if desired.
