Chicken Fajitas

This is a wonderful, low-fuss way to make scrumptious chicken fajitas! Comes from a cookbook from West Huntsville Church of Christ that we received as a wedding present. Feel free to improvise and add your own flavors to the recipe! We generally add more (fresh) garlic, some cumin, and sometimes jalapenos. The original recipe calls for diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano (listed as optional) and cooked rice or pasta to put it over. We put ours in tortillas, of course.

---Chicken Fajitas---

Ingredients:
-2 Tbsp lime juice
-1/4 cup oil
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1/2 tsp chili powder
-2 skinless chicken breasts
-1 medium onion, chopped (I usually use half an onion, we get BIG onions)
-1 green pepper, seeded and chopped

Directions:
Mix the lime juice, oil, garlic powder, and chili powder together in a flat glass container. Chop the chicken into small strips and put into the mixture. Add the onion and green pepper to the mixture as well. Marinade for 1 hour at room temperature. Stick it all in a pan and cook it up until the chicken is done!
