Krysie's Chicken Fajitas complete with marinade

Ingredients:

Marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lime juice
1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder *
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 cup dehydrated onion

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and wisk together until well blended.


2 chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt and pepper for seasoning chicken breasts


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tenderize chicken. Salt and pepper chicken breast and coat with olive oil or butter. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

During this time I usually get the brown rice, black beans, cut up any veggies for fajitas and prepare the marinade.

When chicken is done cooking, I remove from the oven and let it rest. After 10 minutes I will cut it into fajita slices. Then add marinade and chicken into skillet. I will cook it for an additional 10 or so minutes on a low to medium setting. Toward the end I will add cut up onion and bell pepper for the fajita mix.

Heat up tortillas and throw in whatever you want and enjoy!
