Delicious Chicken Fajitas

25/03/2016 by Amanda

Try these delicious chicken fajitas – they are the perfect shared meal for super-simple entertaining.

It’s the beginning of the Easter long weekend here in Australia where, unlike lots of other parts of the world, we get a delicious four day break. It’s traditionally a relaxing time when we in the southern hemisphere get to enjoy either the last of the summer weather or the first welcome chill of autumn days – often sharing casual meals with family and friends. With four days up our sleeves there’s plenty of time for entertaining any way we like, but I’m a casual kind of girl so easy shared meals are favourites in our house and these delicious chicken fajitas are always popular.

Before I go any further, I will apologise for the quality of these photos. I often make these chicken fajitas for a quick, tasty dinner and every time I do I wish that I’d made them for lunch instead – the evening light in my kitchen is not great for photos.

I don’t claim that these are authentic in any way, but they are seriously delicious. No matter how big a batch I make (sometimes with left-overs in mind) they are always gobbled up, so I’m clearly not the only one who thinks so. Give yourself a break the next time you are looking for food to share and try these – you won’t be sorry.

    Sounds good Amanda. Must admit, as much as I love saying the word fajita, I have never tasted them!

    Yes – who doesn’t love a chicken recipe? If they don’t, they don’t know what they are missing out on.
    I know what I will be making tomorrow night, they look amazing and sound delish!
