Blackened chicken fajitas

Gillie

Ingredients

  • Marinade
  • 3 tbspn apple juice
  • 1 whole lime - juice
  • 2 tbspn Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbspn olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tspn dried oregano
  • Handful fresh coriander
  • 2 tspn ground cumin
  • 2 tspn smoked paprika
  • 2 tspn chilli powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chicken
  • 3 chicken breasts

Directions

  • Lay you chicken breasts in a dish and cover with all the marinade ingredients for a few hours if possible. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Once marinated, get a large non stock pan hot. Add your chicken and half the marinade juices and leave to sizzle for several minutes till it turns black on one side. If the marinade runs out keep adding more. You won’t need extra oil. Turn the breasts over and add the remaining marinade and only remove from heat once marinade has caramelised and turned sticky. The chicken should be cooked and juicy inside. Leave to rest for serval minutes before thinly slicing.
  • Tip - don’t let the heat get too fierce or it’ll burn the chicken and dry it out. You want it on a medium heat ideally.
  • I serve the chicken with warm tortilla, avocados, mixed peppers and onions (use remaining marinate to stir fry into the veg if you have any left), jalapeños, sour cream and cheese. I garnished this with fresh coriander and spring onions! Enjoy!!
