Wash and clean the chicken breasts, pat them dry with a paper towel.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili flakes, 2 teaspoons cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk the marinade together.

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

While the chicken is marinating, wash the bell peppers and onions, and cut them into thin strips.

Once the chicken has marinated, heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat, and cook the chicken until fully cooked and juicy, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into strips.

In the same skillet or pan, add the bell pepper and onion strips. Cook until they are slightly softened and have a bit of char, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Add the cooked chicken strips back into the pan with the vegetables, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve the Sizzling Chicken Fajitas hot with warm tortillas and your favorite condiments.
