Chicken Fajitas are one of my favorite things to eat in the whole world and I usually made them over a hot stove in a skillet but when I saw this delicious chicken fajita recipe made in a skillet minus the hard work because the interior ingredients are cooked in the oven first then transferred to the skillet after they are done, I was so excited because I love anything made in my cast iron skillet and I love it more if it doesn’t pop grease at me, lol. It’s also super easy and can be made in advance to bring to any potluck or to make for a large game day gathering. I couldn’t wait to make these chicken fajitas and I got started right away! This chicken fajita recipe also has a homemade taco seasoning recipe, which was really an added bonus for me.
