Fajita Chicken (Breast) With Rice

≡ A flavoursome recipe that you must make part of your weeknight dinner rotation. If you are looking for something easy to whip up after work then a fajita chicken marinade is for you. I will be tweaking a recipe from Lacey Baier so that it’s healthier. Skip to 4:40 mins on the video below for the recipe.

Tutorial: Cooking Chicken Breast

Tutorial: Steaming Rice

  • Honest Prep Time: 5 Minutes
  • Cooking Time: 30 Minutes
  • Assembly: 1 Minute
  • Level Of Difficulty: Easy

Original Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 Tb soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup cilantro

For The Rest:

  • Chicken breast, skinless
  • Rice (jasmine, basmati or brown)
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Measure out the amount of chicken breast needed and place into a zip lock bag.
  2. Add in all the ingredients for the marinade and mix well. Store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Grill your chicken while the rice cooks. For a faster cook time, cut the chicken breast into smaller tenderloins and then cook.
  4. If you have any left over sauce, use that to baste the chicken.
