Skillet Chili-Lime Chicken Fajitas

Jan 16, 2018 3 Comments

Skillet Chili-Lime Chicken Fajitas are a fast, fresh, and flavorful recipe that you can have on your dinner table in under 30 minutes!

Disclosure: Thank you to the Kroger Co. of Michigan for sponsoring this post and providing the giveaway. As always, all thoughts, opinions, and toddler musings are my own. 

Like many of you, I fell off the meal planning wagon in December. Ok, I really fell off the making-meals-at-home wagon. From holiday parties to sleepovers at Nana and Grandpa’s, we ate out MUCH more than usual last month. After new year’s I find myself craving fresh, homemade dinners much more than usual. And for good reason: eating at home is often easier on one’s budget and waistline when healthy recipes are prepared, like these skillet chili-lime chicken fajitas.

A simple weeknight meal made in under 30 minutes, one can never go wrong with Mexican-inspired meals in my house. The best part? Like most of our taco or fajita nights, the kids are happy with a little meat and a whole lot of cheese! And me? I’m happy with plenty of fresh veggies to offset the chips and cheese my kids feast on. Disclosure: I DO put veggies on their plates too! And peppers are their favorite, so this meal is a win in my book.

While fresh produce seems like a paradox in January in Michigan, by shopping at Kroger I know we are getting fresh produce at a great price all year round.  Knowing I can get our favorites [peppers, onions, avocados, etc. all of which are in this chili-lime chicken fajitas recipe] all year round, I can easily plan meals around fruits and veggies my family enjoys. In fact, I rarely have to change my weekly ClickList order because the program KNOWS I always have the ingredients for this recipe in my cart week after week. While I don’t always make fajitas each week, I do use Simple Truth Chicken Breasts and peppers for snacks, stir-fry, casseroles and more! But fear not. If you decide to make these chili-lime chicken fajitas for dinner every week I won’t sway you. They are THAT delicious and healthy!

Kroger will give away a $100 gift card to one lucky reader.

    So where is the nutritional information for this recipe?
    Why would you use packaged seasoning for this when they are extremely high in sodium?
    Why fry, instead of grill(George Forman) or roast in the oven to cut carbs and fats that the body doesn’t need?
    How do you figure this recipe is healthy?

      Hi Leah. Thanks for all your feedback. I’m currently not providing nutritional analysis for recipes as many people can easily go to MyFitnessPal and plug in the recipe information. I’m a mother of 3 young children and am stretched for time. You could certainly use your own fajita seasoning blend or just cumin oregano and chili powder for a low sodium version. Kroger also sells a low sodium version. And of course baking or grilling is a healthy option. I personally find nothing wrong with a little olive oil and skillet cooking. It’s not fried by any means. Thanks again for stopping by!
