Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all of the Chicken Marinade ingredients; whisk together until fully combined. Use a fork to pierce each chicken breast in several places and then place the chicken breasts in a medium-sized glass baking dish. Add Chicken Marinade to the baking dish; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add olive oil and peppers. Sauté for 6-7 minutes, and then add the onions. Continue sautéing for 15-20 more minutes or until onions and peppers soft, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, place another skillet or fry pan over medium-high heat. Place marinated chicken breasts in pan and cook until done (~15-18 minutes), flipping after 10 minutes.

• Once chicken breasts are cooked, transfer them to cutting board and slice thinly.
• Place chicken, onions and peppers on a flour tortilla. Top with optional toppings as desired. (Tip: Wrap the stack of tortillas in a wet paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds before adding toppings. This will both warm and soften the tortillas.)

COPYCAT CHILI'S STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• First you will want to make your marinade for the steaks! I grabbed a gallon ziploc bag and poured it into that. Add your 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, oil, garlic, soy sauce, liquid smoke, cayenne, pepper and salt. Then add your steak and seal the bag up. Mix it around a little bit. It needs to marinade at least 4 hours all the way up to 24 hours. The longer you marinade the stronger the flavors will be.
• Next you want to add your marinade to make for later ingredients into a bowl to store in the fridge. You will use this once the fajita's are cooked, you will pour this over the veggies and steak for a little more flavor. Combine the ingredients listed above for the extra marinade, water, soy sauce, lime juice, and salt and pepper.
• Once your meat has marinaded long enough, turn out your grill, I used our Green Mountain Grill, and turned it to 400 degrees. It is okay to use a charcoal grill. You will toss your steaks on and cook like you would any steak. Once they are done pull them off, and let cool a few minutes and then cut into strips!
• In a pan add a little oil to the pan and toss in your diced peppers and onion. Cook until they get a bit soft, it won't take very long, 5 minutes or so. Once they are cooked, toss in your steak, and use that marinade you made and put in the bowl, and pour over the veggies and steak. Stir well, and serve!
• I had sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa on hand. Serve on warm tortillas, and enjoy!
