A whole new way to Fajita

I could literally have a fajita, of some sort, for every singe meal.  Yes for breakfast, lunch and dinner and maybe even a snack.  As much as I love fajitas, sometimes I just don’t want to take the time to fix them…well that is until now.

Peppers and Onion…OH YEAH!

One of my favorite parts of any fajitas are the peppers and onions.  I just love the little charred bits and the hint of sweetness and a little spice in each bite.  

Even better they add a ton of flavor to the meat, in this case chicken, which makes them a must have in all my fajita dishes.

Careful with the knife 

The trick to make this chicken so good is to cut slits into the chicken, but just 2/3 of the way through, making sure to not cut it all the way through so it will stay together. 

The trick to making each slice perfect is to use a super sharp knife and to work slowly.  I have learned from personal experience if you cut to fast you generally cut right through the chicken breast, and that is no bueno.  

 

The prep is as fun as the meal itself

Once you get the chicken carefully prepared the fun really begins.  You get to start stuffing it.  Now I used red & orange peppers with some purple onion.  If you wanted though you could use green peppers, sweet onions, roasted peppers, or a combo of all of the above.  Be creative and have some fun with it.

After the chicken is stuffed I sprinkled all the sensing over the chicken and veggies.  It helps to add so much flavor to everything as it roasts.

Dinner is almost done

Serving it up

To serve this chicken I top it with a little sour cream, pico and fresh cilantro…just like I do my tortillas, but this time no tortilla needed.  

Not only do you get all the best fajita flavors but you get it all in a low carb, healthier version, making this a recipe everyone can love.

This will definately become part of my Taco (Fajita) Tuesday routine…it is so, so yummy!!

Let me know what you think!!
