{ CHICKEN FAJITAS }

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts (unfrozen)
2 tsp. vegetable oil, divided
1 red onion, sliced
3 small peppers ( green, red, and yellow ) sometimes I add green too. I love peppers!
4 flour tortillas
sour cream
salsa

In a bowl, combine garlic, chili powder, cumin, onion powder and salt. Pat mixture onto chicken breasts. In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp. oil over medium heat and cook 1 minute. Add peppers and onion and cook until vegetables are browned (about 5 minutes. Remove and keep warm. Add remaining oil and chicken to skillet. Cook 6 minutes. Turn chicken and continue cooking until cooked through. (about 4 minutes.) Warm the tortillas in the microwave. Slice chicken into strips and assemble fajitas. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

* Sometimes I double the seasoning for the chicken. I usually do 2 large breasts or 3-4 small. You can marinate the chicken and let it thaw in the fridge.
