Tips:

Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for fajitas. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to slice them against the grain so they cook evenly.
Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in a mixture of chili powder, lime juice, garlic, and cumin adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Cook the chicken over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken and keep it juicy on the inside. Be sure to stir the chicken frequently so that it cooks evenly.
Serve the chicken fajitas immediately. This is when they are at their best. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
