Chicken Fajitas

Okay, so I know some of you are groaning that I'll be sharing Weight Watcher recipes, but don't worry I picked this out because it will be a smash... And it coincides with Cinco de Mayo! I wish I could say I planned that, but sometimes I just have a little luck. So without further ado, here is one hell of a chicken fajita recipe. It is so yummy!! It's all about the marinade for fajitas and this one is pretty darn good.

Chicken & Pepper Fajitas

2 T lime juice
1 T reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 t chili powder
1/2 t cumin
pinch red pepper flakes
3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut on diagonal into thin strips)
4 t canola oil
1 green pepper, cut in thin strips
1 red pepper, cut in thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 (6 inch) fat free flour tortillas
1/2 C salsa
1/4 C fat free sour cream

1. Make marinade by combining lime juice, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, & red pepper flakes in large ziplock bag. Add chicken. I marinaded the chicken overnight (at least do 2 hrs).

2. Heat 2 t oil in skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onion; cook until softened (about 5 mins). Add 1-2 T water if skillet becomes dry. Transfer onion and peppers to plate and keep warm.

3. Increase heat to medium high. Add the remaining 2 t oil. Remove chicken from marinade and place in skillet. (Do not use remaining marinade; throw away). Cook until cooked (LOL).

4. On each tortilla add 1/4th of the onions/peppers and 1/4 of the chicken.

5. Each tortilla gets 1 T sour cream and 2 T salsa.


Each fajita is 6 points.

It's surprising to see what a real serving size is; just 1 fajita!? Are you kidding me?! LOL, I allotted myself 2 fajitas for dinner by conserving points earlier in the day for this meal.

There are a lot of peppers for this recipe, but veggies fill ya up without using any points. You  might not need so much pepper, or you might actually just want to up your chicken if you aren't counting points,
