Grilled Chicken Fajitas – Cookout Week

These Grilled Chicken Fajitas are made completely on the grill from start to finish. Making them the perfect entree for Cookout Week and perfect for easy, summer dinners.

My idea of the perfect summer dinner includes a meal that is entirely cooked on the grill.  From start to finish, no stove or oven needed.

When I signed up to participate in #CookoutWeek, I couldn’t decide what grilling recipe to create and share.

Then I thought to myself, why not share a whole dinner’s worth of grilled recipes? So you know what, that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.

I’m starting off with the main event…Grilled Chicken Fajitas.

One of my absolute favorite dishes to serve for dinner. Especially if we have company coming over since it’s easily customizable and simple to prepare.

However, to step it up a notch, I decided to not only grill the chicken but to grill every other part of the fajita recipe. I grilled the onions, the bell peppers, the chicken, the scallions and even the tortillas.

The result – perfectly grilled chicken topped with smokey onions, slightly charred bell peppers and delicious scallions all wrapped up into a lightly grilled flatbread tortilla. Perfection!

Tips for Grilling these Chicken Fajitas

• The chicken takes the longest to cook, so I like to place it on the grill first
• You don’t want to crowd the grill, so consider grilling the vegetables in batches
• You can lightly drizzle your vegetables with olive oil before grilling, but I didn’t find it necessary
• Consider adding additional veggies for your fajitas – mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus or even corn all taste great on the grill

Not only was the end result an amazing dish, but I didn’t have to use any pots or pans or even turn on the oven! Everything was cooked outside on the grill. Doesn’t get much better than that. Hello Summertime!
