After two whole years of cooking up fun together, our Monthly Cooking Challenge will be coming to a close. Iโ€™ve loved seeing all of your delicious creations, clever twists, and the love youโ€™ve poured into each dish since we kicked things off in May 2023!

Thank you so much for being part of itโ€”itโ€™s been such a joy to cook along with you. So for this final month, I will be making my Easy Chicken Fajitas, and I hope you join me!

Easy Chicken Fajitas

These Chicken Fajitas are a weeknight lifesaverโ€”quick, flavorful, and on the table in just 20 minutes!

Juicy strips of chicken are tossed with colorful bell peppers and onions in a simple homemade seasoning for big flavor without the fuss. Easily customize them with all your own fixinโ€™sโ€”think melty cheese, creamy guacamole, crisp lettuce, or a dollop of sour cream.

Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just craving something fresh and delicious, this recipe is a guaranteed hit.

This Month’s Alternative Recipe:

Pork Fajitas: This budget-friendly recipe looks and tastes restaurant-quality, but is quick and easy to make! Lean pork, onion, and bell peppers are tucked into a warm tortilla for the perfect weeknight meal.
