A Delicious BBQ Chicken Fajita Recipe to Enjoy This Summer

With the hot weather now creeping in, or for those of you lucky enough to see all year-round sun, it's a perfect time to get outside in the garden and fire up your barbeque!

For this fajita recipe, you will need:

• 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 2 teaspoons olive oil or vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes
• 3/4lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 4 flour tortillas

This fajita recipe will serve four people.
Directions to make BBQ Chicken Fajita Recipe:

1. Finely chop and fry the garlic for 2 minutes before mixing in the lime juice and BBQ sauce
2. Place the mixture in a bowl and add the chicken breasts, mixing around until covered. Allow to marinate overnight for best flavour.
3. Pre-heat the BBQ making sure the coals are glowing red. Brush the BBQ grill with olive oil and place the chicken on the BBQ
4. Cook the chicken for approximately 7-10 minutes, making sure the meat is completely white inside.
5. Whilst the chicken is cooking, chop up the red pepper into rings and place on the BBQ for the last 4 minutes, flipping them halfway.
6. Using sharp knife, cut the chicken diagonally into thin slices. Remove the peppers and cut all rings in half.
7. Wrap in warm tortilla along with a sprinkle of pepper flakes. Add salad and garnish as desired and enjoy this BBQ chicken fajita recipe!

I recommend a  refreshing, crisp green salad to enjoy with this meal. A simple salad I tend to make really quickly is baby rocket, watercress, cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of crushed rock sea salt. The peppery taste of the rocket and watercress compliments the sweetness of the BBQ sauce marinade.
