Chicken fajitas are a sizzling sensations are beloved by many for their delicious combination of seasoned chicken, sautéed onions and peppers, and a medley of toppings.

Preheat a 12-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil then remove chicken from marinade and place in the skillet. Let cook until seared and browned on bottom, about 5 minutes.
Flip chicken and continue to cook until chicken registers 160 - 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer in the center, about 5 minutes longer.
Transfer chicken to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat.
Add bell peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper. Saute about 4 minutes, only tossing occasionally and scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add remaining seasonings and saute until just the peppers are tender crisp, about 2 minutes longer. Return chicken to pan, toss in cilantro and serve warm in tortillas with suggested toppings.
