oh. my. yum.

I had a hankering for chicken fajitas (which is rare, since I don't like peppers), so I decided to wing it. I didn't have a recipe, but I figured they'd be easy enough. The good news? They were super easy and DANG GOOD! Ross took pictures with his phone because he was proud of my culinary creation :)


He obviously loaded his up with cilantro, which was a personal choice. I like cilantro, but I like to taste other flavors too. So, if you're undecided about dinner or just want to add a yummy, simple recipe to your mix, here ya go:

2 large chicken breasts
1 red pepper
1 orange pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 medium onion
olive oil (enough to evenly coat chicken and veggies, about 1/4 - 1/3 cup)
1-2 T. minced garlic
fajita seasoning
fresh chopped cilantro
sour cream (opt.)
tortillas

Heat oil in a large skillet and add garlic. Thaw chicken breasts if frozen, then cube and place in oil. Thinly slice the peppers (I used about 3/4 of each pepper and saved the extra for a healthy snack later on) and onion, then place with chicken once chicken is mostly cooked. Simmer until veggies are soft, then add fajita seasoning and mix well. Simmer for another 10ish minutes to allow flavors to absorb. Spoon into tortillas and serve with sour cream and cilantro, and enjoy!
This is a healthy meal full of protein, fiber, and vitamins A and C. And I love being able to use fresh ingredients! One of the many perks to summertime is the availability of fresh produce. And once our garden starts producing, I won't have to pay for produce anymore! Woot woot!

Happy eating!

uhm.....yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! I just finished eating mine like 1 minute ago. It was DELISH! I have "mastered" every chicken and rice recipe known to man, I swear. Not really, but I'm SOOOO sick of chicken and rice but chicken is so much cheaper (and better for you) than hamburger. It was perfect in every way and such a fresh addition to my collection. Oh, BTW, I MISS YOU!!

Varieties are inescapable if there should arise an occurrence of terms and conditions and in addition the qualification criteria, contingent upon the central standards of moneylenders. You have to examine these ahead of time to keep away from future inconveniences. Cash Advance San-diego

Poiché la tecnologia è un mezzo per estendere la portata di uomo, allora è necessariamente connessa al linguaggio, nel senso che entrambe le lingue e le tecnologie naturali saranno importanti in noi agevolando a che fare ogni sorta di cose in quasi tutte le aree di attività umana.
