Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas are deliciously flavorful and cook so much faster (and healthier) than the conventional kind! Easy to make in minutes.

Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts cut into ¼-inch thick strips
- ½ large red bell pepper cut into ¼-inch thick strips
- ½ large green bell pepper cut into ¼-inch thick strips
- 1 large red onion cut into ¼-inch thick strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ounce packet of fajita seasoning (2 tablespoons if using homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, set it to 400 degrees F and let it run for 4-5 minutes before adding the fajitas.
- Add the chicken, bell peppers, and onion to a large bowl and drizzle over the oil.2 large chicken breasts, ½ large red bell pepper, ½ large green bell pepper, 1 large red onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Add the seasoned chicken and veggies to the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 14 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, stirring well once halfway through.
- Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three months.
- To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing the cooked fajitas as the texture of the veggies becomes mushy when thawed.
- To Reheat: Reheat leftovers in a 350 degree air fryer for 3-4 minutes or in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
- The cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model and the thickness of your chicken strips. I always recommend checking the internal temperature of one of the thickest pieces of chicken to ensure it is fully cooked before serving.
- Cut your chicken and veggies the same size and thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- You can substitute a packet of taco seasoning for the fajita seasoning in this recipe. I have done this in a pinch and it was equally as delicious.
