Chicken
Fajitas
(serves 4, unless you are really hungry!)
Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts, sliced in thin strips
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons salad oil,
plus 2 tablespoons of oil for cooking
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 green pepper, sliced in thin strips
1 onion, sliced in thin strips
Directions
In a bowl add lemon juice, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic
powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper and stir until combined.
Add chicken strips, green peppers and onion and coat evenly with
marinade. Marinate for 1 hour.
In a hot large skillet or cast iron
fajita pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil and add chicken, peppers
and onions. Cook until the juices of the chicken run clear, about
15 minutes. Stir the fajitas often so that they do not stick to
the pan and burn.
Serve with warm flour tortillas and
your favorite accompaniments. I suggest sour cream, guacamole,
shredded cheese, and Pico de Gallo (salsa).
* If you would prefer to grill the
chicken, do not cut it into strips. Grill for 15 minutes or until
juices run clear.
