Chicken Fajita Rice and Fries

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken strips with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Add the chicken strips and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.

Step 4: Stir in the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 5: Cook the French fries according to package instructions or fry fresh potato strips in hot oil until golden and crispy.

Step 6: Prepare the white rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.

Step 7: Arrange the rice, fries, and chicken fajita mixture on serving plates.

Step 8: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken fajita mixture, rice, and fries separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the chicken and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Reheat rice in the microwave with a splash of water to keep it soft.

For crispy fries, reheat them in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5–8 minutes. Avoid microwaving fries to prevent sogginess.
