How to make Mexican Chicken Fajitas

1. Combine half of the fajita seasoning and 1 Tbs olive oil with the chicken in a bowl. In a separate bowl add the remaining fajita seasoning to the peppers and onion.
2. Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan and gently fry the chicken until it starts to brown slightly and has cooked through. Let the chicken thighs rest for 4-5 minutes and slice into strips.
3. Then add the garlic, onions and peppers and cook for 3 minutes or until they start to soften. Don't over cook the peppers if you want them slightly crunchy.
4. Cook the rice as per the packet instructions.
5. Serve the fajitas strips with the rice, sliced avocado, lime juice, coriander and sour cream.
