One Dish Chicken Fajita Dinner for 2

shared by Patty H. (Cooking for two is a bit of a challenge unless we want to eat left-overs all week. I have been looking for some scaled down recipes.  This one was delicious and could be easily doubled or more)



Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 4 chicken tenders)
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
½ onion, thinly sliced
2 cups cooked rice
1 (1 ¼ oz.) pkg. fajita seasoning mix * (I used the recipe below)
vegetable oil ( for frying)

Directions
1.     Chop chicken breast into chunks
2.     Fry chicken quickly until almost cooked through
3.     Remove chicken from pan
4.     Cook peppers for 2-3 minutes
5.     Put chicken back in pan with peppers
6.     Add fajita seasoning and 1/4 cup water
7.     Cook until chicken is done
8.     Put mixture over rice

Fajita Seasoning Ingredients
½ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. paprika
½ tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. brown sugar (optional) (I used this)
¼ tsp. cumin
¼ tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
