I’ve been away on vacation for the last week visiting relatives up in Reno. While we were there, I made one of our favorite quick and easy dinners by grilling up some of this Chile Lime Chicken Breast we buy at Costco.
Now that we’re back, I wanted to make another of our favorites. Anybody who’s been a member of this board for a while knows I love my Mexican food. Even with the wife and I on the Weight Watchers plan, if I’m careful what I choose and how I prepare the dishes I can enjoy my favorite cuisine. Made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and not much oil the fajitas themselves are only 1 point per serving. I can live with a diet that includes chicken fajitas, can’t you?
I started out making a batch of my Mexican rice. (1 Point per serving) Started out by sautéing the veggies. (See link for recipe: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=223944)
I also got out the onion and bell peppers to cut up
and mixed up the fajitas seasoning.
Ingredients:
1/2 Tbsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. kosher salt to taste
1/4 tsp. Chipotle pepper 1/4 tsp. Oregano
Next up were some frijoles. I sautéed some diced onion, 1/2 a jalapeno, some bell pepper and corn and then added two kinds of black beans. (0 points per serving)
I now got out 3 boneless skinless breasts and coated them with the fajitas seasoning.
I took them and the cut-up veggies out to my gas grill side burner. I sprayed my 12” Camp Chef C.I. skillet with some OO. After it was heated up, I put the 3 breast in and cooked them for 8 minutes per side.
Once they were cooked, I removed them to a cutting board and was left with the fond.
I dumped in the onions and bell peppers and let them start to cook.
Stirred up with the pan scrapings.
While them were cooking I sliced up the chicken.
Once the veggies had started the wilt
I dumped in the chicken and stirred it in and continued to cook until the chicken had reheated.
Now I brought it all in and plated it up with a Modelo Negra.
Here is a gratuitous close-up side shot.
So delicious!
Thanks for looking.
