Chicken Fajita Salad
This Chicken Fajita Salad is so simple with amazing flavors. I always make my own mixes, this recipe has the same spices I use for my taco seasoning. You can add any veggies you like, you can also use chicken thighs or steak for your meat, and you can make your own dressing that you like. Ranch dressing or some salsa on top would be nice also.

Chicken Fajita Salad
Equipment
- Skillet
- Cooking spatula
- Whisk
- Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 bell pepper, deseed, cut into strips
- 4 Bella or Crimini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- salt and pepper to taste
For the spices:
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
For the dressing:
- juice of one lime
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the chicken with the spices, set them aside for at least 5 minutes before adding them to the skillet. Heat a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining oil into the same pan. Add the onion and saute for 2 minutes or until a little caramelized. Add the garlic and saute for another minute.
- Add the bell pepper and mushrooms, stir to combine well, saute for a minute, or until tender.
- Add the chicken back to the pan, stir together with the rest of the veggies. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients, mix until well combined. I used Romaine lettuce leaves and fill each leaf with chicken fajita. Drizzle the dressing on top. I also cut some avocados and tomatoes to add to the salad.

Hi there! My name is Jen.
I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort. After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot healthier. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring or don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do to naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
