Ingredients

Chicken Fajitas

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 sliced green bell pepper
1 sliced poblano pepper
1 thinly sliced red onion
8-10 small flour tortillas
1 cup cooked rice

Salsa Verde

¾ pound tomatillos
4 garlic cloves
½ cup fresh cilantro
½ cup diced white onion
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Chicken Fajitas

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Place the chicken on one side of the baking sheet in one even layer.
Toss the bell pepper, poblano pepper, and onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread on the other side of the baking sheet.
Bake the chicken and vegetables for 25 to 35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers begin to brown. Remove from the oven and toss everything together.

Salsa Verde

Set the oven to broil.
Remove the outer husks from the tomatillos and rinse. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and broil for 10 to 15 minutes or until tomatillos begin to brown on top.
Remove the tomatillos from the oven and place them in a blender or food processor. Add the garlic, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and salt. Pulse until desired consistency is reached.
Serve fresh with the chicken fajitas.
