Low Carb Chicken Fajitas - without the Tortilla?
Seriously, you can't have fajitas without the tortilla... well, yes you can! I did!
Edited To Add ~ (although I was just reminded, because I completely forgot about them, that there are Low Carb Tortilla's out there! Thanks Mom!! :) )
Ok, so just call it Chicken with peppers & onions if you must! But to me it's Chicken Fajitas!
For the last week, I have been trying to do low carb as an eating style. It's hard when you LOVE SWEETS, BREAD and anything not good for you!
When it comes to food, I have to find YUMMY recipes to spark my interest and keep me coming back for more because I get bored with the same ol thing, over and over again.
Anyway... the recipe is as follows:
Chicken Fajitas
2 chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch strips
2 bell peppers, cut into strips
1/4 red onion in 1/2 round strips
2 cloves garlic, minced (I put mine through my trusty Pampered Chef Garlic Press)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 T EVOO
Chop veggies and set aside.
Cut chicken into strips
Combine all dry ingredients and EVOO and put over chicken; toss to coat chicken.
Cook chicken until almost cooked through. Add veggies and cook until chicken is completely cooked through. Add chopped cilantro.
When they were done, I put about 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese over them and dug in!
They were so good! When I have fajitas, I NEVER have left-overs!

Have a blessed day!
