Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 3/4 pound)
- 1/2 pkg. taco seasoning mix
- avocado oil
- 2 large bell peppers (sliced into thin strips)
- 1/2 white onion sliced (medium, into thin strips)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (freshly, plus more to garnish)
- sea salt (grinder to taste)
- black peppercorn (grinder to taste)
- 1/2 lb. linguine pasta
- 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- To Prepare the Fajitas: Pat chicken thighs dry and season on both sides with half of the Taco Seasoning.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons avocado oil in 12-inch skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken thighs; cook about 4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and keep warm.
- Add sliced peppers and onion to the same skillet. Cook 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to allow some charring on the vegetables. Add garlic; cook and stir 30 seconds longer, or until fragrant.
