I have absolutely no idea where Claudia got her Mexican cooking skills from. This recipe is one of the many dishes that has wowed not only my family, but my friends as well. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that there were a few times during my younger years when I would come home from a fun evening of dancing with my friends and we would search my parents the fridge to see if there were any leftovers. On the instances where we found Chicken Fajitas, we felt as though we had won the lottery. This dish is a very healthy and delicious addition to anyone’s dinner repertoire.

You will need:

4-6 chicken breasts, diced

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp chili powder

2 tbsp hot sauce (any kind will do)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp chicken bouillon

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 of each – green, red and yellow bell pepper

1/2 onion

6-8 tortilla wraps

Combine together oregano, chili powder, garlic powder and chicken bouillon

In the same bowl, combine dry ingredients with hot sauce and lemon juice

Mix well.

Coat diced chicken with mixture. We typically do not allow time to marinate, but feel free to do so to get a more intense flavour.

In a large frying pan or wok, heat vegetable oil and add chicken.

Allow to simmer until chicken is cooked through.

While chicken is cooking, slice up your bell peppers and onion.

When chicken is done, add veggies.

Allow to cook for about 5 minutes until the veggies are soft but still a little crisp.

Place chicken and veggies in the centre of the tortilla wrap

Serve with any of your favourite sides – lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole…

…on a Ukrainian plate of course.

Enjoy!

    This is a good recipe, I am stuffed! I think next time I will double the sauce ingredients and put the sauce on the veggies too (or marinate them while the chicken is cooking). I made these in my frying pan, but I have a veggie BBQ griller (looks like a metal stainer with larger holes, I think you can get them at most stores that sell BBQ supplies) and usually when I make fajitas I cook them on the BBQ. It gives them a good BBQ flavor.
