Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Fajitas

It’s no lie that chicken is my favorite meat so when this cookbook showed up in my mailbox I was super psyched.  I opened it up and started browsing through it.  There were so many delicious recipes that I wanted to try.   What was missing from this cookbook were the pictures.   There are only a few and I really wish they had more in the book.  When I cook I like to see photos.

The book has a basic introduction as well as pantry staples for cooking with chicken.  I found the pantry staples to be helpful.   Then came the different chicken categories like wings, wraps, soups, salads, roasts, skillet suppers, grills, and pasta and rice.  I found a lot of recipes that I wanted to make, especially since we have chicken weekly.

A few of the recipes I really want to try are the Tex-Mex Wings, Hot and Sour Soup, Mustard Grilled Chicken Salad, Greek Style Baked Chicken, and Quick Chicken Chili.  But the recipe I decided to try first was the Roasted Chicken Fajitas.   We usually have Mexican once a week and this looked like an easy recipe.

This recipe simply has chicken, onions, and peppers cut up and placed in the oven.  It took me about 5 minutes to prep and then I was able to do other things while it cooked.   It was a great weekday meal.

I give this book 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.

The Roasted Chicken Fajitas are not only easy to make but they are super flavorful too.   Plus, you can add just about any toppings you would like.  We had our fajitas with salsa, sour cream, avocado, and cheese.  You can even make them your own by putting on your favorite Mexican seasonings.   Any way you make these, they are a super simple way to make fajitas and one that I’ll be making again.  My husband even said he’d like to eat them again so I consider this a winner.
