Chicken Fajitas on a Stick

Chicken Fajitas on a Stick are a fun and festive way to serve this Mexican favorite! They make great an appetizer or a meal, and they are ready in less than 10 minutes!

You can serve Chicken fajita skewers with or without tortillas, depending on if you are watching your carb intake. For keto fajitas, serve the chicken simply on a bed of lettuce with Green Chile Lime Salad Dressing.

Chicken Fajitas on a Stick

Ladies and Gents, this is the ideal entertaining meal! I like to make grilled chicken fajitas during the summer months, and when I want everyone to stay out of the house. It’s a simple, yet impressive meal. Summer entertaining to me means grilling! Plus, Tex Mex flavors are easy and always a hit, what’s better?

I cut the chicken and vegetables early in the day and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. Marinate the meat for at least an hour. The longer you have to marinate, the better the flavor will be. The chicken and vegetables will absorb all those wonderful, tangy fajita flavors.

I’m easily distracted when quests arrive and this recipe is forgiving. Cook when you’re ready otherwise, it’ll keep fine in the refrigerator until you’re ready to throw it on the grill.

Ingredient Notes

I use this recipe for Fajitas Seasoning or you can use the prepackaged, store-bought mix. I re-hydrate the seasoning in vegetable oil. It makes a really intense seasoning.

Squeeze fresh lime over your chicken skewers when you take them off the grill to brighten the flavor!

You may also use pork or beef in place of the chicken if you prefer.

I also load some skewers with chicken only, and others with vegetables only. I prefer this for the varying cook times between the two. But, chicken fajitas on a stick certainly make a pretty presentation, so use whichever method you prefer.

If you want to grill them together, cut your vegetables and chicken into equal size chunks so that they cook evenly.

PRO TIP for cooking once eating twice:

Cook extra chicken fajita skewers. Then, use them for Chicken fajita pasta salad for your lunch or dinner the next day.
