Easy Chicken Fajitas, adapted from Christina Cherrier.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

## Ingredients

- 1 lb Shredded rotisserie chicken — fully cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken

- 1 tbsp Chili powder

- 2 tsp Paprika

- 1 tsp Onion powder

- 1 tsp Cumin

- ½ tsp Garlic powder

- 1 tsp Salt

- ¼ tsp Pepper

- 2 tbsp Olive oil — divided

- 1 count Red bell pepper — sliced

- 1 count Green bell pepper — sliced

- 1 count Yellow bell pepper — sliced

- 1 count Onion — medium, sliced

## Equipment

- Stovetop

- Pans

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** Mix cooked shredded rotisserie chicken with chili powder, paprika, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

2. **Step 2.** Heat half the olive oil over medium-high. Sauté peppers and onion 5–7 minutes until tender, then move them to one side.

3. **Step 3.** Add remaining oil and seasoned chicken; stir 2–3 minutes to heat through. Combine with vegetables and cook 1 minute more. Serve as a skillet meal or with the source optional accompaniments.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: none listed; check every product label. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- Tortillas, cilantro and lemon juice occur only in the serving instruction, with no ingredient amounts. They are optional accompaniments not included in the listed ingredient amounts.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
