Used three chicken breasts, one red pepper, one sweet onion, and 1/2 c water instead of 1/4 c. I served it with costa rican style beans and rice and cubed avacado topped with lime. Fresh cilantro on top was divine. Thanks for posting. -
Very easy to throw together on a night you need something fast but still want something low in calories and delicious! -
We prepared this according to the directions. It was good, just needed something. We will keep it and make it again with some tweaking.

Very good. I added some chopped onion. -
For taste this dish is easily at least a 4, but I am adding in that extra star for ease of preperation! My store was out of red peppers so I used an orange in it's place and left everything else as written. I will definitely make this one again!

Try Spanish or Mexican rice. -
I would also add onions. -

This recipe was really good! The only changes I made were to replace one of the peppers with a sliced onion, and I for the rice I used a packet of Uncle Ben's Sante Fe brown rice medley. It was very filling, we didn't even end up putting it in tortillas. -
Incredibly easy and delicious! I used Recipe #28011 since I forgot to buy the fajita packet mix at the store. I also used a green pepper instead of the yellow and served it all over brown rice. We loved it and I'll put this into our rotation! Thanks Kirstin!

I am living with the most wonderful boyfriend in the world in his 150 year old farmhouse. I also have a most fabulous 16-year old son! I love to cook - it's a major stress reliever for me and I thoroughly enjoy the reaction of others when they like my dishes! My other passion is sailing - BF and I plan to take off from Oregon toward the South Pacific in a couple years to live on his boat.
