Begin by preparing the fajita seasoning. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients from the fajita seasoning recipe. Set this mixture aside for later use.
In a large bowl, place the chicken strips and add half of the prepared fajita seasoning. Mix the chicken and seasoning together thoroughly, then set it aside to marinate for approximately 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until it becomes aromatic.
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Stir occasionally. When done, set the cooked chicken aside.
In the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary, and then add the onions, bell peppers, and the remaining portion of the fajita seasoning.
Stir-fry the vegetables on high heat for 5-10 minutes, adjusting the cooking time to your preference for the tenderness of the veggies.
Serve over a bed of cooked white rice (or cauli rice for a low cal option). This meal prep can last up to 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.
