awesomeness in a bowl

Tonight I really had a craving for fajitas (thank you McCormick commercial). I checked out my fajita seasoning and figured I could create something similar with my Mrs. Dash stash. Not to toot my own horn... but a... BEEP BEEP! :o)

I cut up my 6oz chicken into cubes then added Mrs. D's Fiesta Lime seasoning & Southwest Chipotle seasoning. I also put in some minced garlic and onion powder then topped with lime juice. I mixed all of that in a bowl and let it sit for a bit. While that was sitting I cut up 1/4 green pepper and 1/4 red pepper (equals 1 veggie serving on plan) into pieces.

I coated my pan with Pam and then started my chicken bites, once those were cooked a bit I added my peppers, then a bit of water. I prefer my peppers a little softer so if you like them crunchy you can delay the time you put them in to cook. This took about 15 min. total before it was ready. Top with some Morton's Lite Salt and you have yourself plan friendly "fajitas". If you haven't had your starch for the day you could use this with the tortilla serving you are allotted, but I had already had my starches so I just ate it as is.

I highly recommend this meal! Hope you enjoy it! Happy eating!
