Buffalo Chicken Fajitas are the ultimate crispy and spicy fajitas! Crispy fried chicken tossed in buffalo sauce served with sautéed onions and peppers. Topped with cheddarcheese and ranch dressing. Buffalo chicken fajitas happen to be my favorite version of fajitas! The chicken is tender and moist and coated in extra crispy panko breadcrumbs. Once the chicken is fried it is tossed in buffalosauce. The fajitas are stuffed with sautéed peppers and onions, cheddar cheese and ranch dressing! They are so unique and delicious you have to try them. Fajitas are one of the most simple and delicious familymeals. They are kidfriendly and extremely versatile. Fajitas range from chicken, to steak, all the way to shrimp and even buffalochicken!
Prepare your spice blend by mixing all of the spices together in a small bowl.
In a large bowl add the chicken breast, 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce and half of the spice blend. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate 15 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients or overnight.
Prepare a dredging station. In 3 separate bowls, add the panko bread crumbs, flour and the whisked eggs.
Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, shake of the excess. Dip in the whisked egg, shake off the excess and then coat in panko. Use your hands to press the panko breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure it is well coated and sticks. Allow the coated chicken to rest while you prepare the peppers and onion.
In a medium sized frying pan on medium heat, heat 1 tsp of cooking oil. Add in the peppers, onions and remaining half of the spice blend. Sauté until just cooked through and set aside.
