Chicken Fajitas

by Pooja 2. April 2008 04:09

This one of my favourite  mexican recipe and fairly simple to create. I usually make this when I want to come out of kitchen asap and want to eat something else than indian cuisine.

Chicken Fajitas

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 stick butter
  • 1 cap full Mrs. Dash (regular or chipotle) /you can use your own version of spices. I sometime add little Chilli powder, salt and jeera powder when I am out of Mrs. Dash.
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1/4 brown sugar

Topping:
lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, tortillas

Slice chicken into long strips, place in pan with half of the butter and Mrs. Dash. Cook until done and lightly browned. Stir in a small amount of water or chicken broth and the brown sugar. Cook until caramelized.
Chop the pepper and onions into strips and rings, sauté in a separate skillet with the remaining butter, if you want to save time else you can cook in same pan once chicken is done, take it out and cook onion and bell pepper. Cook until onions are caramelized and peppers have crispy edges.

These fajitas are really easy to make and a little different because they're sweet and spicy. Buy a packet of tortilla and serve this chicken fajita with toppings.

Enjoy!
