Fabulous & Easy Chicken Fajitas Recipe

I feel like my poor blog has been neglected for the last week! My excuse is that my Mom and sisters came over to my neck of the woods and rented a beach house on Manattan Beach for the weekend!!!! We totally partied it up and went out to eat almost every meal! I probably gained 10 pounds but I had a blast!

And then...back to reality. :) Which, I guess, really isn't so bad!! Hubby moved over to a new, wonderful law firm last week, the weather has been beautiful in Southern California, and everyone in my house is healthy - which is fantastic! Now, to plan some healthy meals, right? And get this diet back on track!

This recipe for fajitas is full of veggies and lean protein. We loaded it onto whole wheat tortillas to add more fiber and it was such a yummy dinner! Even my boys (who usually pick out any peppers) LOVED it and ate all the vegetables! Plus the chicken is tender and delicious. The best part is how EASY it is. Marinate the chicken in an easy marinade before you head out the door to work, etc. Then when you get home, throw the chicken and some sliced up veggies into a skillet and serve when cooked! Soooo tasty, filling and good for you!
