Skillet Chicken Fajitas

These were SO delicious! Especially the chicken. The vegetables developed a little too much of a charred taste for me after being cooked in the same skillet I had cooked the chicken in. So next time I’ll probably just use 2 pans. Otherwise this recipe was amazing! My husband said it was “as good as any fajita from a restaurant.” Thanks for another great recipe!
