Chicken Fajitas

This is the first time I'm adding a recipe to my blog prior to making it myself. I found this on another blog yesterday and thought it sounded so good. She recommended marinating the chicken overnight for the best flavor. I'm for sure putting this on my menu next week. I thought these would be great with some homemade guacamole, chips and salsa. I'll come back and let you know how we liked them, but from the list of ingredients, I don't see how they won't be anything less than amazing! Let me know if you try them out!

Chicken Fajitas

Marinade:
1 lime, juiced and zested
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper (or more if desired for heat)
1 teaspoon salt

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 large), sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, seeded and sliced (or a combination of green, yellow, orange and red peppers)

Combine marinade ingredients. Add chicken. Place in a large Zip-Lock bag or a shallow non-metal bowl covered with plastic wrap. Marinate for 2-3 hours or overnight.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Saute the onions and the peppers for 8-9 minutes over medium heat until browned.

Discard marinade. Add chicken to skillet, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until cooked through.

Serve with warm tortillas.
