Grilled Chicken Fajitas

This is a recipe for grilled chicken fajitas. I originally got it from the Joy of Cooking cookbook, but I changed it a bit and I prefer to grill this meal rather than cooking on the stove.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 lb chicken breasts (sliced in half lengthwise)

2 onions, sliced

2 peppers, halved (I used mini sweet peppers this time)

First I marinate the chicken for an hour or two.

Here's the recipe for the marinade:

1/4 cup liquid - half lime juice, half water

2 scallions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

3 tbs cilantro

1 tbs olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

1/2 tsp cumin

These are the sweet peppers I used this time.  

Two onions, halved

These are the extras: salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce

After marinating the chicken for an hour or two, I grill it.

Then I add the peppers & onions.

After I take the food off of the grill, I cut the chicken, onion & peppers into strips. Then serve with tortillas, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce.

Other extras: avocado, guacamole, beans, rice (or spanish rice), pico de gallo

If you want to eat a healthier version, you could make a fajita salad instead of using a tortilla, or just eat the chicken, peppers & onions which is very yummy all by itself.
