Instructions to make Chicken Fajitas:

  3. Heat a large skillet or pan (12-inch | 30cm) on medium-high heat until smoking. Add a drizzle of olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, charred and cooked right through. Cook for about 8 minutes. Flip them a couple of times while cooking so they get a nice even char.
  4. Transfer chicken to a warm plate, loosely tent with foil and let rest
  5. Cut peppers and onions into strips

  8. Serve with warmed tortillas, sour cream and chopped cilantro
