Dinner Tonight: Chicken Stir-Fry Fajitas

Some weekdays I often don't have time or don't want to be in the kitchen making dinner for more than a half hour, so I created this quick, easy and healthy recipe for chicken stir-fry fajitas that takes about 20 minutes to make from start to finish. The trick that makes this recipe so quick and easy to make is the healthy pre-packaged/portioned brands that I found at the grocery store.

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 wheat tortilla (I use Joseph's whole wheat tortillas. You can find them in the deli section at most grocery stores. They're made with flax seed and enriched with omega-3, also they're low in calories)
• 1-2 cups of mixed vegetables (to make this recipe even easier I use Bird's Eye Pepper Stir-Fry frozen vegetables. You can find them in the freezer section. The vegetables are already cut up into the size you need and they are cooked and then freeze dried so all you have to do is heat them up in the skillet)
• 1/4-1/3 cup of shredded cheese (I used Weight Watchers Mexican Blend)
• 6 oz. of boneless, skinless chicken breast (I use Purdue Perfect Portions, found in the poultry section, they're already portioned boneless and skinless chicken breasts in individual packages)
• You can also use hot sauce, salsa, crushed red pepper, or any other spices you like!

 

To Prep:

• Measure out all your ingredients
• Cut the chicken into strips or cubes and season with black pepper
• Spray a little Pam or non-stick cooking spray over a warm skillet

Next:

• Add the strips of chicken to the skillet and flip until the chicken is cooked through, it should take about 8 minutes over a medium heat
• Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook everything until the veggies are no longer frozen, and they should start to shrink up and brown

If your tortillas were kept in the fridge, you can microwave them to warm them up. Once then chicken and vegetables are cooked, pour the contents of the skillet onto your tortilla and top with shredded cheese. They should look something like this. Enjoy!
