Chicken Fajitas

These are easy, quick, and relatively cheap--the three things I look for most in weeknight dinners!! And, you can top them with any number of condiments and veggies. Serve them with black beans and corn for a dinner party.

You'll need:

1. 1 lb chicken breasts (or chicken breast tenders)
2. 1 tspn oil
3. 1 green bell pepper
4. 1 red bell pepper
5. 1 small red onion
6. 1 packet taco seasoning
7. 1/2 cup water

Toppings:

1. lettuce, shredded
2. tomatoes, diced
3. cheddar cheese, shredded
4. salsa
5. guacamole
6. sour cream

You'll do:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Line a cookie sheet (with sides) with aluminum foil.
3. Place chicken tenders on the foil and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until done (but don't overcook).
4. While chicken is cooking, heat 1 tspn oil over medium heat in large skillet.
5. Slice peppers and onions thinly and place in preheated skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. When done, remove chicken from oven and let rest on pan for about 5 minutes.
7. After resting period, slice chicken vertically to make thin strips.
8. Add chicken, water and taco seasoning packet to pan. Stir thoroughly to coat chicken with seasoning.
9. Reduce heat to low and cover pan.
10. Allow meat and veggies to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
11. Serve fajita mix with tortillas and toppings. For sides, try grilled corn on the cob or seasoned black beans.

Nam! Nam!
