Steps:

• Combine 1/8 cup chopped cilantro, orange juice, 1/8 cup olive oil, juice of 1/2 lime, chipotle chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze the bag several times to combine the ingredients.
• Cut chicken into 1-inch slices, cutting across the chicken breast, and add to the marinade. Carefully squeeze out most of the air, seal the bag, and move chicken pieces around in the marinade to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine red bell pepper slices, green bell pepper slices, and onion pieces in a large bowl. Add remaining 1/8 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all the vegetable pieces are coated in oil and seasonings.

CHICKEN FAJITA RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large bowl combine the chicken breast halves, lime juice, cilantro, minced chipotle peppers.
• In a small measuring cup or bowl, combine the fajita seasoning and the olive oil. Pour over top of the chicken and toss everything to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. Note: The chicken and marinade can be placed in a Ziploc bag. Massage chicken to coat evenly.
• In the meantime: slice the peppers and onions. Thaw the corn if frozen and rinse beans.
• About 30 minutes before you're ready to cook, remove the chicken breast from the refrigerator, allowing to come to room temperature.
• In a deep skillet (preferably cast iron) heat up two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of olive oil over medium to medium high, adjusting the heat so as not to burn chicken. Once the pan is hot, work in batches by adding two chicken breast halves in the pan at a time. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Remove from heat and place the cooked breasts on a nearby platter and continue with the remaining chicken.
• Carefully wipe out any charred bits out of your pan before adding in the corn. Let the kernels cook over medium heat until they are deep golden and start to pop. Remove those back a platter and set off to the side.
• Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. Once hot add in the peppers and cook just until tender crisp. Remove and repeat with the olive oil and the sliced onions. Remove the onions to the same platter as the peppers and turn off the stove.
• Place the chicken on a large cutting board. Slice and chop the chicken into bite-size pieces. Place the chicken back into the pan to keep warm on low but if you're using a cast iron skillet it will stay nice and warm for a while so you can just leave the heat off.
• In a medium bowl toss the brown rice with minced cilantro, salt and the juice of half a lime. Spoon the brown rice into bowls and top with peppers, onions, corn, black beans, chopped chicken and any optional toppings desired.

SPICY CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, honey, jalapeno pepper, and garlic together in another bowl until marinade is smooth. Pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 12 hours to overnight, turning occasionally.
• Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Pour marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in tomato, minced onion, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce until guacamole is well-combined.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook chicken on preheated grill, basting with marinade and turning often, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to rest, about 5 minutes. Slice chicken across the grain into thin strips.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute sliced onion and red bell pepper in hot oil until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until softened 1 to 3 minutes. Place strips of chicken down the center of each tortilla and top with shredded lettuce, sauteed onion and red bell peppers, and guacamole. Wrap each tortilla tightly around filling.
