Note
Tips: For best results, slice chicken and vegetables into similar-sized pieces to guarantee even cooking.
If you prefer spicier fajitas, add cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
The rice can be replaced with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, but reduce cooking liquid to 200ml and cooking time to 10 minutes.
