Hello and welcome to in the kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make chicken fajitas.
Oh, yeah.
I had a request from my sister to do a fajita video.
So here we go.
That's what we're going to do.
This is an easy one.
Pan or sheet pan chicken fajita recipe.
Super easy to do.
If I can do it, you can do it before I move on, make sure to
subscribe to my channel and hit that notification bill so you
won't miss out on any of my new videos.
Let's get started down below in the description and you'll find
the list of the ingredients and their amount.
So I'm going to start with a small bowl here and I'm going
to add in my spices.
I have two teaspoons of salt, normal table salt.
I have one half teaspoon of chili powder.
I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to heat.
So you can add more chili powder if you want a half
teaspoon of black ground pepper, two teaspoons
of ground cumin.
I love the Cuban flavor.
I mean, two teaspoons of paprika.
And you can adjust these different spices according to
your individual tastes.
Totally up to you.
These are your fajitas.
All right.
I'm going just take this little risk.
Let's just rest in the saddle little bit.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
I'm just going to set this aside.
The next few days are classically made
with bell peppers.
And I have three cut bell peppers here, a yellow one,
a green one and a red one.
And I want to do one more.
And I just wanted to show you how I break down the pepper.
You can do it however you want.
It's really simple.
I normally would just take off the top
there like this.
And then I just break it down these ridges,
I just break it down that way.
And I will take out all the white and the seeds.
Again, you can break them down however you like, and you can
cut them however you like, I usually like to do
the long strips.
And these seeds aren't hot, so it's OK if you leave some of
them if you want.
Not going to hurt you and they're not going to be super
hot like other peppers.
And then what I'll do is I'll just take the pepper and just
put it on its back or front and just cut them down like that,
just in strips like that.
All right, cool.
Now, I also have one large onion.
This is a yellow onion.
You can use a white onion.
If you want the yellow onions a little sweeter, you use like
Battalia or whatever kind you want to use.
And then I just cut the onion in half, take off the outer
shell and then
just kind of like that.
So I got these.
And then you'll just take them apart.
So they're individuals.
And then I had about eight chicken tenders and then I cut
them into about three and thirds.
So little strips.
And so that's how I had my chicken.
You can use chicken breast if you want chicken thigh, if you
want whatever kind of chicken that you want to use.
And then I'll take this large bowl like I put the
cutting board away.
I'm going to add all of my peppers.
You can also do this in a like a Ziploc bag, like a gallon
sized Ziploc bag, and then I want to add all my onions and I
want to kind of separate these a little bit like this.
I love you and then I'm going to add my chicken strips.
You can do less of the onion like you could use just a half
of onion, onion or small onion, you could do you
only like two of the peppers if you want.
I really like it more heavy on the the peppers and
onions side.
I'm going to add this is three cloves of fresh garlic.
Oh, yeah.
I love fresh garlic.
Put that in there.
This is about three tablespoons of olive oil.
You could use a little bit more.
You can go up to a quarter cup,
which is four tablespoons.
You can use different kind of oil if you want.
And then I want to put on these spices.
And then I'm going to put on this, Lyd.
OK, or this is where the bag will come in handy and I wanted
to shake it,
all right.
And then I'm going to just take it off
and come back in.
Just to make sure it's all coated.
Now I have a sheet pan, this is like a 13, my 17, 12 by 17
sheet pan and I lined it with a silicone that you can also
cover the whole thing in foil or use parchment paper or just
spray it with kitchen spray.
Totally up to you.
Let's put those guys out on there and spread it out evenly
and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is
about two or five Celsius, and now we're going to put this
in the oven and we are going to bake it for somewhere between
18 to 20 to 25, 30 minutes until it's nice
and golden brown.
The chicken's cooked all the way through.
All right.
Onto that step.
And when it comes out of the oven, it'll look
something like this.
The vegetables will be brown.
Some of them might have a little bit of a char on
the top.
That's fine.
The chicken just needs to be at least one 65 degrees Fahrenheit
in the middle.
If you don't have a meat thermometer and what you can do
is just cut open into it.
As long as there's no pink on the inside, then you are
good to go.
All right.
I just want to sit just for a few minutes and then I'll get
my tortillas and my avocado and my sour cream ready to go.
I have a flour tortilla here.
If you want to learn how to make homemade flour tortillas.
Kleck that little I up in the corner and you can do that and
we'll have a link down below as well and then make sure to use
tongs that are different from the ones that you used
earlier with chicken.
Or Washam So I'm going to grab some of this stuff, some of
the mix here.
Oh, yeah, make sure I get everything on their.
Onions and chicken.
Oh, yeah, I love this stuff.
And you could taste the chicken and the peppers and they need
more seasoning, just add more seasoning and then add a piece
or two of avocado.
Sour cream and there we go, an awesome homemade fajita.
All right.
The sheet pan chicken fajitas are done.
Turned out fantastic.
Really easy to do.
If I can do it, you can do it.
