To-Die-For Chicken Fajita Marinade Recipe - Food.com image

Great marinade for chicken fajitas on the outdoor grill or the George Foreman. Smells great! Update: volume of oil for the marinade has been reduced.

Total Time 1 hours

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Mix first seven ingredients and pour into ziplock bag with chicken breasts.
  • Marinade for 1/2 to a few hours but chicken is overpowered by the lime juice if left too long.
  • Grill each breast until no longer pink in the middle--about 6 minutes on each side for the George Foreman.
  • Remove from grill and wrap in aluminum foil.
  • Let rest for ten minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with tortillas, sauteed onions and peppers.

PAPPASITO'S FAJITA MARINADE - FOR FLANK STEAK OR CHICKEN

  • "The secret to Pappasito's Fajitas is their marinade and their tenderizing process: they repeatedly pierce the flank steak with a tenderizer fork; put it in a thick, tough, vacuum bag; add the marinade; remove all air after adding the marinade; and then seal the bag. And then, and here's the difficult part, they throw the bag into a rotating tumbler drum (kind of looks like a small cement mixer with internal baffles) which beats the hell out of the meat over night). You need to marinate for at least 8 hours. For cooking, they get the grill as hot as possible and sear on each side for only about 1.5 to 2 minutes (for the flank steak -- always cook your chicken well). The good news is that I do everything they do except the cement-mixer step and the end result is still very good. I typically marinate for a fairly long time to compensate. "
