Chicken Fajita Protein Bowl

     We LOVE Chicken Fajitas.  Even more so, the chicken fajita Protein Bowls from Qdoba.  We don't love their price and most times don't have the time to drive into town to get them.  Add in the stress of pandemics and our decision was to make them ourselves!!  You can make up a huge batch of the chicken at home and then add what you want to your own bowls through the week.  Great for lunches or dinners!  Just assemble and enjoy!

Chicken Fajita Protein Bowl 

Ingredients: 
 (for the Fajita Chicken) 
1 large yellow onion, sliced long and thin
1 large green, yellow or orange bell peppers, seeded and sliced long
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced long
3 large cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
2 Tablespoons canola or olive oil
Spice Mix**


For Homemade Mexican Spice Mix **:
(for the fajita chicken) 

2 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1/8 teaspoon of cayenne
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon salt 
1 Tablespoon cornstarch


Directions:  
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place sliced onion, peppers, and garlic with chicken in a 9x13 baking dish together.
In a small bowl, mix all dry seasoning mix and spread over chicken and veggies. Drizzle oil over all and mix everything together until all ingredients are well seasoned. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes and then give the entire mixture a good stir.  Finish baking the remaining 10 minutes. 

Assemble your protein bowl with all your favorite toppings too:  My Bowl shown has shredded lettuce carrot and cabbage on the bottom (some people add brown or white steamed rice or a cilantro lime rice) then top with baked fajita chicken, salsa, black beans, green onion and toasted sesame seeds along with a light mexi-ranch dressing.

​
Optional additions: your favorite dressing, sour cream, guacamole, avocado, ranchera or green chile sauce or salsas, shredded cheese, tomato, shredded lettuce, fresh cilantro, sour cream, salsa, crushed roasted peanuts, toasted pepita seeds, lime rice, black or pinto beans and green onion.
