Chicken Fajitas

I’m in need of going to the grocery store, so tonight I stared into the fridge with no clue what to make. I saw some frozen chicken breast, and thought well that’s what we’ll have then. Reluctantly, I pulled it out, not knowing what I should make with it. Then, I saw a frozen package of pepper and onions, from Kroger’s recipe beginners. Now I had an idea!

Ingredients:

1. 2 pieces of chicken breast (sliced)

2. 1 package of onions and bell peppers (or just 1 onion and 1-2 fresh bell peppers)

3. 5 fresh mushrooms (optional)- sliced

4. ½ of a package of taco seasoning

5. 2-4 tortillas

6. 1 cup rice (I use Minute Brown Rice)

7. 1 cup water for boiling rice

8. Shredded cheese (for garnish)

Steps:

1. Heat sauté pan and add onion and bell pepper mixture

2. Add strips of sliced chicken

3. Add mushrooms- stir occasionally to avoid burning

4. Meanwhile, place 1 cup of water in saucepan on high and bring to a boil

5. Add ½ of a package of taco seasoning to chicken mixture and let simmer, stirring as needed

6. Add rice to water and follow instructions on box as how to cook rice

7. Heat tortillas in microwave for 15-30 seconds

8. Serve rice on side or add into tortillas for a fajita burrito

9. Oh, and sprinkle some cheese on fajita for some extra yum! :)

This was an easy fix, for an “almost frozen pizza” dinner! The taco seasoning packets are always good to keep around in your cupboard, since they don’t expire quickly. You never know when you’ll have ground beef, or plain chicken for that matter, that needs to be used or are strapped for an idea.
