Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 unit lime
- 1 tbsp fajita seasoning
- 2 units bell pepper
- 1 unit onion
- 1 lb cauliflower rice
- 1 unit avocado
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing 1 pound of chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, juice from 1 lime, and 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate while you prep other ingredients.
Slice 2 bell peppers and 1 onion into thin strips. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and slightly charred. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the cauliflower rice. In another skillet, add the cauliflower rice, season with a pinch of salt, and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes until it is tender.
Assemble the Keto Chicken Fajita Bowls: In each bowl, start with a base of cauliflower rice, then add the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, sliced avocado, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese and serve warm.
