Directions

In an airtight container, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade. Add the chicken and mix to coat evenly, then refrigerate for 1 hour.

Once the chicken has marinaded, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat in an oven-safe skillet.

Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook about 8 min, stirring occasionally, until browned.

Add the onion and bell peppers, and sautee another 5-7 min.

Transfer the skillet to the oven on broil for about 5 min, keeping an eye that you get a slight char, without burning.

Serve the chicken fajitas in ow carb tortillas or wraps, over cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps.

Garnish to taste. These are delicious with some grated cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.
