This was excellent. Followed the directions but I had already chopped adobo chilis so I added about 1 tbs which turned out well. I saw one comment that you should not roast the veggies with the meat, only broil them which I think is so wrong. The roasting softens and sweetens the peppers and onion and then broiling gives them a bit of smokiness. Next time I will make more chicken to the peppers since I ended up with lots of leftover peppers but no chicken.

Christy

Easy but don’t put the veggie pan in when you put chicken pan in! Directions aren’t clear. Wait and only do veggies 5 min or less under broiler

Terri Warren

I made this last night and it was just terrific. Exactly as directed (used two chipotle peppers), I prepped the veggies ahead and marinated the chicken for about two hours. Heavenly and easy. Will definitely do this again, my husband loved it

There are easier ways to make fajitas. Cut up chicken or mushrooms, slice peppers, onions, maybe a zucchini and stirfry. Add a little taco seasoning and salsa. Put it on a tortilla and add cheese if you like. And you can heat tortillas on a dry skillet, medium heat. The next night have the leftovers with fish tacos. Tilapia or any mild flavored fish--- dredge them in taco seasoning and fry for a few minutes on each side. Add salsa and chopped cabbage if you have it.

Steve

Very good.I found that the chicken still had a lot of liquid after 15 minutes, so I put the chicken and it’s juices under the broiler for a few minutes. This reduced the liquid to a sauce and added more flavor.

Mike

Deceivingly delicious for how simple it is. A great weeknight meal made from things we commonly have on hand. Don’t overcook the chicken! We added canned chili beans and that made a nice side. Easy and good.

Randye

I can't believe I never thought of this one! I used my own home made fajita seasoning ans served with avocado slices. Was so delicious. Will be making this again for sure.

Ella

Delicious and easy! Wrapped a stack of tortillas in foil and let them warm up while cooking the chicken and veggies.

kelly

you can easily freeze whats left of the chipotles in adobo, works great!

Kathy

This was easy, inexpensive, and delicious. I’ll definitely make it again and again. I made it exactly as called for in the recipe.

Emily

My boyfriend and I loved these, delicious and easy for a weeknight. Used chicken breast and it was surprisingly tender. Served with some sour cream and salsa verde but I think it would have been good without anything added. I heated the tortillas on the stovetop because I like the toasted flavor.

M/R Cooper

Made a larger amount so needed two sheet pans to roast veg. Then once they cooked down combined on one and used second one for chicken. Very good recipe, but might use thighs instead of (of mixed with) breasts. Served as fajitas with tomatillo sauce, salsa, sour cream and cilantro. Broiling veg at end a nice touch. Easy.

Karen

This recipe was great - fast, tasty, and healthy - everything I look for in a recipe these days! Used pre-cut chicken strips because I was in a hurry, they cook fast so keep an eye on them. I only put one chipotle but next time I'll do two, it wasn't that spicy. Love the lime flavor.

CB

This is delicious and easy. I served with refried beans, avocado, and crumbled cotija. We discovered at the end that our broiler is broken. The peppers were delicious as is, but would have been next level with a little bit of char. We also agreed that the marinade is versatile and the chicken could be done on the grill as well. Yum!

Momo

Quick and delicious, made as written. Served with black beans.

kade

This was very good. I didn’t read the recipe closely and cooked the chicken on top of the veggies. Worked out fine and was one fewer pan to wash. Chicken was cooked after 15 minutes so be sure to check.

RMVeggie

Love this recipe. Made it several times with chicken, but I recently stopped eating meat and I find you can make this with tofu. Press the tofu, tear into chunks and marinate it. It's better if you marinate the tofu longer than what is suggested here for chicken. I can make this for the entire family. Chicken for them and tofu for me. Everyone is happy.

Lucy

Excellent. We served it with Chipotle Bitchin' Sauce spread across the tortilla.

William

I have been cooking this monthly for years now – a family favorite! I tried the chile in adobo once and it gives it a nice smokiness but it’s hard to find locally and I don’t have a lot of recipes for the remaining chiles. I’ve been using 1-2 taps of ground ancho chile and it works beautifully as a substitute.

Cat

I thought the chicken turned out a bit dry— not sure what I could’ve done to prevent that. The lime sort of overpowered the chicken flavor— I might add some chili powder next time. I added sour cream to combat the dryness and it was good. Crema or cojito might be even better!

D.N.

This was great and easy! Use 2 chipotle peppers for sure and the amount of veggies really needs 2 pounds of chicken.

McKenzie

I didn’t have limes so I used lemons. Still so good! This was a perfect weeknight dinner and it’s easy to double for leftovers.

Colleen

Oh YUMMY! Made per instructions this was a hit! The sweetness of the veggies with the spice of the adobo, easy yummy thumbs up!

Kevin

I found this recipe as written to be somewhat bland and underwhelming. At a minimum I’d double or triple the stated habaneros in adobe sauce, and double the lime zest and juice. Also, the recipe should recommend garnishes to complete the dish. Sour cream, sharp cheddar and some kind of pico de gallo are a must.

rgrant

I recommend adding a clove of minced garlic to the marinade

JG

I’ve made this a bunch of times. I always add a can of drained black beans to the veggie pan for the last minute for extra protein and stretch the meal. This summer. I’ve been using the marinade for whole flattened chicken breasts on the grill (then rest & slice) and grill a the veggies on nonstick foil in the other side of the grill. So easy & delish and quick cleanup.

julie

Made this with zucchini subbed chili onion oil for chipotle’s. Separately roasted butternut squash & was fall-like and delish! Super easy, also.

Chelsea

Used rotisserie chicken and mixed with marinate ingredients and heated up in skillet. Next time maybe just use 1.5 chilies

Made 6/29/21

Used 1/2 tsp of Chipotle Chili powder instead of Chilis in Adobo.

Barb Sanford

Wow, this was good -- and easy, too. We used chicken thighs, which increased the prep time because I had to debone them; chicken breast would be much faster. Big hit with the family and I'm putting this in our "taco night" rotation.
