    How to Marinate Chicken Fajitas

    In a bowl, mix together all of the marinade ingredients listed in the recipe card. Then place the strips of raw chicken in the bowl and coat it in liquid.

    It’s best to have the chicken marinate for at least an hour before cooking to absorb the seasoning and spices.
