Chicken Fajitas





Cut the chicken into strips, season with a mixture of a little bit of onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper, a generous sprinkling of salt and chili powder (I use mexican chili powder but regular will be fine).





Saute chicken until browned on each side and cooked through. Remove from pan.





Add green and red bell pepper and onion strips and saute in a little vegetable oil until soft but still have good color. Serve with tortillas and voila! You have fajitas. you can serve with lettuce and tomato and salsa if you have them available- if not that's fine, too, it is a really healthy meal.

Garlic Chicken





4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb)


20 cloves garlic, peeled


戮 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth


录 cup Kraft light classic Caesar Dressing


录 cup Kraft grated Parmesan cheese





1. Heat large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken and garlic; cook 4 min., turning chicken after 2 min.





2. Stir in broth and dressing; cover with lid. Cook chicken 4 min on each side or until done.





3. Sprinkle with parmesan. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 1 min.





4. Serve with roasted vegetables.








How I make Roasted Vegetables:


*Place carrots and 1 inch cubed potatoes on a roasting pan, cover with olive oil, sea salt and seasoning and cook in a 425 degree oven for 25 minutes or until tender (stir halfway through cooking).





For seasoning I use a combination of black pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a dash of red pepper





These roasted carrots and potatoes go so well with the chicken, I strongly recommend adding them, and they are so easy to make and so so tasty, too.Whats a good healthy recipe for chicken breasts?
