Servings 2 fajitas

Strips of chicken with sautéed onion and bell pepper in two warm flour tortillas, all from one skillet.

Ingredients

1 tbsp salted butter
1 boneless skinless chicken breast (6 oz) sliced into ½-inch strips
¼ tsp kosher salt divided
¼ tsp coarse black pepper divided
½ tbsp olive oil
½ small onion thinly sliced
½ small red or green bell pepper thinly sliced
2 flour tortillas 8-inch

Directions

Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with ⅛ teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Cook for about 6 minutes, until it reaches 165°F. Move it to a plate and cover it.
Add the olive oil to the same pan. Add the onion, bell pepper, and the rest of the salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds.
Divide the chicken and vegetables between the tortillas and serve.
