Chicken Fajita





INGREDIENTS


1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch strips


1 tablespoon vegetable oil


2 teaspoons chili powder


1/2 teaspoon ground cumin


1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


1 small onion, sliced


1 small green bell pepper, chopped


1 cup salsa


1 (8-oz) package shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese


Tortillas


Topping Ideas: Chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream

















DIRECTIONS


In a skillet, saute chicken in oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in chili powder, salt, cumin and garlic powder. Remove from skillet and set aside.


Add onion and bell pepper to skillet ( I also like to add the spices in the skillet again for more flavor: 2 teaspoons chili powder,


1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder) and saute for about 5 minutes or until tender)





You can either serve this dish on tortillas like a regualr fajita, or it also goes well just as like a salad with black beans, rice, lettuce, etc. But the way that i usually make it is you just get a store bought pizza dough, roll it out to the size you need put it in a 425F oven for 10-15 minutes (until it starts to become golden brown) then put all the ingredients ontop of it (except for like sour cream lettuce and things like that) then pop it back in the 425F oven for about another 10-15 minutes (until the cheese is really nice and melted).








Another nice dish is,





Chop up some green zucchini, yeow squash, and onion and set aside.


In a nice sized non-stick skillet over medium heat, put some olive oil in it and allow to heat up, while it is heating up, take some chicken cutlet-sized pieces of chicken and season with salt and pepper. Place in skillet until cooked, put aside.


In the hot skillet, add just a little more olive oil alow to heat up and then place onion in it, allow to cook until it just starts to become tender. Add in the squash and zucchini. Season it with some more salt and pepper and also garlic powder along with some pressed garlic (or verly finely chopped). allow to cook until desired tendernes. Add a can of either whole or chunky tomatoes, allow to heat through. serve with chicken and or pasta or rice. (the best part about this dish is that you can prepare it at any time of the day, and when youre ready to eat it, just cook up the pasta or rice and re-heat the chicken and veggies)
