Canola oil is typically less expensive.

Marinate chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper, and 4 tablespoons minced garlic. Let marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.

Heat a skillet until hot and add 2 tablespoons canola oil.

Sear the marinated chicken in the hot skillet until it sizzles and develops a nice brown color. Turn the chicken to ensure even cooking.

Check if the chicken is cooked by pressing it; it should be firm but not wobbly. If it wobbles, it needs more cooking.

Once seared, let the chicken rest, then chop it into strips.

In the same skillet, add butter and then add chopped half a white onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender.

Add the chicken strips back into the skillet with the vegetables and toss everything together.

Squeeze half a lemon into the fajita mixture and mix well.

To make sour cream, combine all-purpose cream with 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon garlic, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until thickened.

Optionally, add lemon or lime zest to the sour cream for extra flavor.

Chop cilantro for garnish and serve the fajitas with tortilla chips or rice.
