Air Fryer Smoky Fajita Chicken

This delicious Air Fryer Smoky Fajita Chicken is so quick and easy.

It's one of those recipes you'll have ready in less than half an hour on a week day.

Less than that if you spread the load and leave the ingredients all prepared in the fridge the night before or that morning.

Another new recipe developed at The Kitchen Gadget Hub by Feisty Tapas!

The first one was this lovely Pressure Cooker Vegan Mushroom Stew.

Why an air fryer?

As you probably know I love my air fryers.

Airfryers save energy, both physical and on your bills.

They're basically small ovens that don't need preheating.

The name air fryer is really poorly chosen, once you start thinking of them as a mini super fast oven that doesn't need preheating, they become so much easier to use.

Make sure you read my post on How to use an Air Fryer.

For this recipe I used the Instant Vortex, which I love.

What to serve with Air Fryer Smoky Fajita Chicken

I recommend tortilla wraps, coriander (cilantro), guacamole, salsa, soured cream and grated cheese.

It'd be also great stirred through pasta or rice!

Or even on its own or in lettuce wraps if you are on a low carb diet.

Lots of possibilities basically.

Can I double up this recipe?

Need to feed more people?

The Instant Vortex definitely has space to double up this recipe.

Keep an eye on the timings as you may need to increase them.

How to warm up the next day

Ah this is a brilliant one!

All you have to do is wrap up the chilled fajita chicken in a tortilla wrap with your favourite sauces and a bit of cheese.

Then place in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 160ºC.

That's it.

Instructions

• Air Fry for 12 minutes at 180ºC, removing the basket to mix or shake a couple of times during that time.
• Then Air Fry 2 minutes at 205ºC. Check that the chicken is cooked through.
• Serve in the wraps with the coriander, soured cream, guacamole, salsa and grated cheese (or your choice of these). Or it would be great tossed with salad or pasta or even rice!

Notes

Trying to keep the cost down? It’s lovely just with the soured cream, cheese and coriander (if you like coriander).

Note: Airfryers are like ovens, they're all different, so always check that your chicken is cooked through. I used the Instant Vortex for this recipe

Now, where do you stand on coriander (cilantro as it's called in the States, and in Spanish!): tastes delicious or tastes like soap?
