And so...Lime Chicken Fajitas
This is what you will need:
That's about 1/2 of an onion, 1 green bell pepper, 2 small chicken breasts (I used 4 chicken tenderloins), juice of 1-2 limes, 1/2 a fajita seaoning mix, and some butter and olive oil.
Next: Dice up the Chicken Breasts, and put in a bag to marinate with the fajita seasoning and lime juice. We use the lime juice from just 1 lime, but that's because our limes are the size of lemons, so you may need to use the juice from both limes if yours are small.
Then just set the marinating mixture aside to do its thing, and cut up the onion and peppers and start sauteing them. (I use about a Table spoon of butter to begin with, and add olive oil later in the cooking if I need to. I start with butter first because olive oil can't take the heat as well as butter does.)
Next: depending on how you like your veggies cooked-I like mine pretty soft- I add the chicken when the veggies look about half done, like when they are just starting to get a little transparent. If you like your veggies with a little more crunch you can add the chicken sooner in the cooking or even at the same time as you start the veggies
If you want to see the recipe in a more recipe like format-I posted it under the recipes tab too.
Hi Danielle! I don't get around to looking at blogs nearly often enough, but it is really fun to read up on your life a little bit. :) The recipes look really yummy, and I'm actually glad to hear that Hawaii isn't perfect to live. I feel the same way about Illinois. I HATE humidity. It is so much worse than the desert. I think you are right on, Hawaii is perfect for vacationing and laying on the beach. But I wouldn't want to cook and live regular life there either. :) Hope you're doing well!
