MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Repurpose Leftover Cooked Chicken- If you have some leftover, mildly seasoned chicken on hand from another recipe (such as a roast chicken), you can slice it up (you need about 1 and ¼ cups) and skip right to the step of cooking the peppers. Then simply add the already cooked chicken into the peppers at the last step. Use a Different Protein- Love a different type of fajitas? Try using sliced beef, pork, shrimp or a can of black beans in place of the chicken.
