The warmer temps outside make us want to gather with family and friends to enjoy the
nice weather. If you’re in need of some new one-pan-grill meals, we’re here to help!

Here’s how to make chicken fajitas in a cast iron skillet on the grill:

1. Marinate and season chicken breasts, cover, and refrigerate while you prepare
the grill.
2. Set grill to medium heat.
3. Oil the skillet and put it on the grill as it is preheating so that it starts getting up to
temperature.
4. Throw seasoned, marinated chicken in until it starts to turn white.
5. Add all veggies and more seasoning/marinade.
6. Cook until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
7. Top with pico de gallo, jalapenos, avocado, cheese, lime, sour cream, cilantro, or
whatever you prefer!

You can make your seasoning/marinade with whatever ingredients you love and keep
on hand, or you can purchase marinade ready to go at your local grocery store. These
fajitas are simple, quick, customizable, and sure to be a hit at your next cookout!

since the grill is already fired up!
