Prepping Your Fajita Ingredients
For quick, uniform slicing of onions and bell peppers, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can save significant time and ensure everything cooks evenly. Opt for colorful bell peppers (red, yellow, green) and a large onion for the classic fajita blend.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin, even strips for fast, thorough cooking. A sturdy Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 offers a safe, sanitary work surface.
How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas
Season your chicken and vegetables generously with fajita spices. Toss everything with a light spritz of oil using an TrendPlain 16oz/470ml Olive Oil Sprayer for Cooking to coat without overloading on fat.
To keep your air fryer clean and ensure nothing sticks, line the basket with Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs Parchment Paper, 8IN Square before spreading your chicken and veggies in an even layer.
Use a spacious, intuitive air fryer like the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, Grey to guarantee even cooking and ample room for a full family-size batch.
