Chicken fajitas
Looking for a quick, family-friendly, meal to cook this week? Try our chicken fajitas. Packed full of flavour and ready in minutes!
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 4 small chicken breasts (360g)
- 2 peppers
- 2 onions
- 150g mushrooms
- 5 tbsp barbecue sauce
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp paprika
- 8 tortilla wraps
- 1 bag of mixed salad (or your favourite homemade salad)
- 120g 50% less-fat cheddar cheese
- Guacamole (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
- FryLight
Method
- Peel and chop the onion and garlic, then slice the peppers and mushrooms into strips.
- Chop the chicken into strips and cook it in a non-stick frying pan with eight sprays of FryLight. Fry on a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until golden brown all over.
- Turn the heat down to medium, add the peppers, mushrooms, onion, garlic and paprika to the chicken. Stir to coat all of the vegetables and chicken in the spices.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked all the way through and the vegetables are soft. At the end, add the barbecue sauce and stir.
- While the fajita filling is cooking, grate the cheese and pop a handful of salad on
each plate. If you like, you can heat the tortilla wraps in the microwave for 30 seconds just before you are ready for them. - When the fajita mix is ready, load up the wraps, top them with a sprinkle of cheese, a dollop of guacamole and salsa, (if you’re using these ingredients) wrap them up and tuck in!
