Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad

1. Prepare the marinade/dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, chili flakes, cumin, and salt. Set aside.
2. Marinate the chicken: Toss diced chicken in half of the marinade. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
3. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden. Remove from heat and let it rest.
4. Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
5. Assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl, combine lettuce, sliced avocado, cooked chicken, and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle the remaining marinade/dressing over the salad and toss lightly.
6. Garnish and serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired.
