The Best Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas Recipe
Feeling spicy? These air fryer chicken fajitas are the perfect (and easy) meal for you to make in your air fryer for lunch or dinner any day of the week. This fajita recipe is simple and customizable so you can be sure your palate will approve!
This fajita recipe can also be a time saver. If you’re short on time feel free to prepare the chicken and vegetables ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use. You can also switch up the vegetables if you’re not a big fan of bell peppers and onions.
Another advantage of this fajita recipe is that you can swap out chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer (adjust the cooking time as needed) and it’s not necessary to marinate the chicken if you don’t want to or time doesn’t permit.
These easy chicken fajitas require so few ingredients and really pack a flavorful punch. Feel free to double or triple the batch as needed and use an air fryer liner for easy cleanup! Here’s the only chicken fajita recipe you’ll ever need…
