Hey there, family—
Welcome to Week 1 of BNDK Table! If you’re new here, this space is for families juggling food allergies, picky eaters, and busy evenings.

Let’s kick things off with a recipe your family will love. And guess what? It’s nut-free, budget-friendly, and ready in under 30 minutes.

chicken fajitas
INGREDIENTS:
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips before cooking
1 medium onion
1 lime
3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green or orange) 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cumin salt (to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut onion into slivers & slice peppers.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of ½ lime, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, pepper, cumin and salt. Cut chicken into strips and toss with the spice mixture.
Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add ½ of the chicken and cook until just cooked, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Set chicken aside and add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Drain onions well (if soaking per note below) and cook 2 minutes. Add in sliced peppers and cook an additional 2 minutes or just until hot. Add chicken back to the pan and stir to combine.
Squeeze additional lime overtop and serve over tortillas.
