Chicken Fajitas


I made this yummy recipe last night and it was a hit! I used the leftovers today over my salad and it was delicious. I didn’t even have to add salad dressing because the chicken tasted so good like a taco salad. The best part about this recipe is that it is fixed approved. So if you are in one of my fix challenge groups, you would count 2 servings as 2 greens, ½ purple, 1 red and ½ blue. If you added brown rice, you would count that as 1 yellow. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring! Enjoy!


Ingredients:
1 tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. sea salt or Himalayan salt
½ tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
2 tsp. olive oil, divided use
4 (5-6 oz) raw chicken breast, boneless, skinless, cut into ½-inch strips
1 Medium red (or green) bell pepper
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. fresh limejuice
8 large romaine (or butter) lettuce leaves
½ medium avocado, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh salsa

Directions:
  • Combine chili powder, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and 1 tsp. oil in large resalable plastic bag.
  • Add chicken, bell pepper, and onion; mix gently to coat. Refrigerate for 15     minutes
  • Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Empty contents of bag into skillet; cook, stirring frequently
  • Remove from heat. Add lime
  • Evenly top lettuce leaves with chicken mixture, avocado and salsa
