Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips as well. Place the chicken and vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Season the Chicken and Vegetables:
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken and veggies. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. This ensures that the chicken and vegetables cook evenly once added.
Cook the Chicken Fajitas:
Transfer the seasoned chicken and vegetables into the air fryer basket. Make sure to spread them out in an even layer for better air circulation. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chicken and veggies are done, remove from the air fryer. Serve immediately with tortillas or lettuce wraps, and garnish with your favorite toppings like cilantro, lime wedges, and salsa.

You can substitute the chicken with shrimp, beef strips, or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of chipotle powder or smoked paprika to the spice mix.
If you prefer your vegetables with a bit more crunch, reduce the cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
