Yummy Grilled Chicken Fajita Recipe | So Easy to Make!

This post is sponsored by Foster Farms Air Chilled Chicken but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

A day outside grilling with the family makes for the perfect summer meal. One of my family’s favorites is my Grilled Chicken Fajita recipe.

I have to admit that one of the things I love most about grilling recipes is that my husband loves to grill. So, it takes some of the pressure off of me.

Plus the kids can run around and play outside while he’s grilling, so it’s a double break for mom.

What toppings go on fajitas?

Fajitas are fun and colorful because there are so many toppings you can use!

I normally try to get some colorful stir fry type vegetables and I love to use chicken to make it more light.

Tip- Find Foster Farms Simply Raised Air Chilled Chicken for the most tender fajitas.

Here are some toppings you might want to add:

• Bell Peppers (any colors)
• Onions (red, white, or yellow)
• Sour Cream
• Cheese (Queso Fresco or Mexican Cheese)
• Avocados, plain or made into guacamole
• Chicken, shrimp, or beef

Why is Air Chilled Chicken the best for fajitas?

I’m really loving the Foster Farms Simply Raised Air Chilled Chicken because it’s so high quality and tender. You can taste and see the difference in your recipes.

It really elevates grilled chicken fajitas too!

Foster Farm’s air chilled method chills the chicken with air instead of water, so it doesn’t absorb as much water and comes out more flavorful and tender when cooked.
