Tips:
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a large nonstick skillet. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
- Make sure the chicken is cut into thin strips. This will help it to cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken and vegetables will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken and vegetables over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables.
- Stir the chicken and vegetables frequently. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry.
- Serve the chicken fajita rice bowl immediately. This is when it is at its best.
Conclusion:
One-pan chicken fajita rice bowls are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
