Chicken Fajitas

These are really tasty, healthy, and easy to prepare. The most difficult thing about making fajitas is not being afraid to cook the ingredients over high heat. A hot skillet or griddle is necessary to quickly cook the ingredients so they are seared (but not burned) on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. Preparation time includes time to marinate.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6-8
• Yields: 8 fajitas

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup lime juice
• 1⁄4 cup white vinegar
• 6  tablespoons  fajita seasoning mix
• 3  boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

Directions

1. Whisk together the first 5 ingredients to create the marinade.
2. Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 5 to 6 strips for a total of 15 to 18 strips.
3. Place the chicken in the marinade for a least 1/2 an hour before cooking, longer is desired.
4. Using two lightly oiled, very hot large skillets or griddles, place the chicken strips in one and the frozen onion/pepper blend in the other. Add additional oil if necessary.
