Big Green Egg Chicken Fajitas!
By Casey | August 9, 2009
There are many reasons why I love the Big Green Egg, one of the reasons is the Big Green Egg’s versatility. Very few grills on the market will allow you to cook a brisket at 225 degrees for 15 hours and then turn around and cook a steak at 700 degrees and get it done in 10 minutes. One of my favorite things to cook in the Big Green Egg is chicken fajitas using the cast iron skillet. All you need to do this is chicken, peppers, onions, tortillas, sour cream, cheese, herbs, spices and olive oil. To start, heat the Big Green Egg up to around 400 degrees and place your cast iron skillet on the cooking grate. Add a light amount of olive oil and allow to heat up. Prepare the boneless skinless whole breast meat with your choice of blackened seasoning, salt and pepper and then place it in the skillet until blackened on both sides. Don’t worry about getting the chicken fully cooked as it will be thoroughly cooked in a later step. While the chicken is cooking its time to prepare one medium size onion and two large peppers, thinly slice both into 1/4 inch wide strips. Now that the chicken is blackened on both sides but still rare I like to remove the chicken and start to cook the onions and peppers with another dash of olive oil added to the skillet. After the veggies have cooked for a few minutes its time to add the chicken that has been sliced back to the skillet and cook untill the veggies are cooked to your liking. This may take from 5 to 15 minutes depending on your taste. After placing a tortilla on a plate the final step is to add the chicken and veggie combo, sour cream, hot sauce and cheese to your liking. At our house, we love our food very spicy so feel free to add more spices to your chicken and veggies to really kick it up a notch!
