Recipe Expert Tips
How to cook:
- Step 1: Thaw the bag in the refrigerator overnight. It's important to keep the chicken cold so thawing on the counter is not a safe option.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the thawed contents of the bag to the hot skillet. Cook, tossing frequently over medium high heat until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and is cooked through to 165 F. degrees.
- Step 3: Serve in warm flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.
- Serves: Makes 4 to 6 fajitas.
