Add everything except the chicken - so the olive oil, lime juice, garlic cloves, jalapeno, salt, and Fajita Spice Blend - to a mixing bowl and whisk it together into a marinade.

About 30 minutes before you're ready to cook pull the chicken from the fridge and let it rest on the counter.

After the chicken has come to room temperature, place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and allow it to preheat undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken to the hot pan in a single layer and let sear for 3 minutes. If you need to cook the chicken in batches, do that, but don't crowd the pan.

Flip the chicken and sear on the other side for 3-4 minutes. Continue cooking, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Dice the chicken up, and then you're ready to serve it! Dassit!
