Ingredients

  • 640 g chicken mini fillets
  • 3 mixed peppers
  • 2 white onions
  • Fajita seasoning see above for my recipe

Instructions

  • Slice your bell peppers and onions. I like to go for larger chunks, but you can do whatever size you prefer, larger is just less likely to catch and burn in the air fryer.
  • Add your chicken breasts to a bowl.
  • Spread the fajita seasoning over the top of the chicken and then rub it across the breasts well.
  • Lightly oil your air fryer basket if you'd like. You can use spray oil or just a little drizzle of olive oil.
  • Add the chicken mini fillets to the basket.
  • Air fry at 200C (400F) for 10 minutes.
  • Add the peppers and onions here. Air fry at 200C (400F) for another 6-8 minutes
  • If your air fryer basket is quite crowded then be sure to give the basket a shake every 5 minutes during the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
  • Check the temperature before serving. The safe internal cooking temperature of chicken is 74C (165F). Make sure there is no pink meat remaining for safe serving.
  • When serving you'll want to decorate with your favourite dressings; salsa, sour cream and guacamole all work very well! I love to make homemade wraps but the shop bought ones work very well and are cheap enough!
  • Squeeze on a little lime, or lemon, juice for a bit of added flavour.
