The marinade is super easy to make and is a basic recipe that I use for all my fajita recipes which includes a little olive oil, lime juice, and garlic along with a combination of chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and fresh chopped cilantro. Just roll the chicken up around the slices of bell pepper and secure both sides with a toothpick. Easy and done! Once the chicken bakes and you’re ready to eat you can remove the toothpicks and the chicken will still remain wrapped around the veggies.

Ingredients

½ green bell pepper
½ yellow bell pepper
½ red bell pepper
3 chicken breast
2 tbsp. cilantro
½ salt
½ dried oregano
½ cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 clove garlic
½ cup Juice
2 tbsp. olive oil

Method

01

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, cayenne (if using) and cilantro. Set aside.
02

For the chicken breasts, if you purchased pre-sliced chicken cutlets then skip to the next step. If using chicken breasts, slice them longways into 2 even slices and firmly pound the chicken using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about ¼ inch.
03

Place chicken cutlets into a large resealable freezer bag and pour marinade over top, making sure they are completely coated. Allow chicken to marinate for a minimum of one hour to overnight.
04

Once chicken has marinated, evenly place 6 bell pepper slices in the middle of the chicken cutlet, roll up and secure with a toothpick. Repeat this step until all the cutlets have been rolled up and place seam side down in a prepared baking dish.
05

Brush tops of chicken with remaining marinade and bake, uncovered, at 375℉ for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the juices run clear. Serve and enjoy!
