chicken fajita salad
Ingredients:
Marinade-Dressing
6 Tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 teaspoon ground Cumin
2 teaspoons salt
4 chicken thighs- no bones
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 onion, sliced
5 cups lettuce
2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup Mexican blend cheese
Directions:
- In a bowl, whisk all the marinade ingredients together. Pour half of the marinade into a shallow dish and then add the chicken thighs. Make sure the chicken has been covered well by the marinade and then place it in the fridge for an hour. Cover remaining marinade and place in the fridge too.
- In a skillet, add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and turn the cooktop onto a medium heat. Add the veggies and cook them to your liking. We cooked our chicken on the grill but you can use a skillet.
- Slice chicken into strips and prepare your salad with lettuce, veggies, chicken, cheese, and tomatoes. Drizzle the remaining marinade/dressing and add a dollop of sour cream to complete the masterpiece. Enjoy!
