Chicken Fajita with a Twist
Serves: 4
Ingredients
To make Chicken Fajita with a Twist , you'll need:
- 4 chicken breasts, one per person
- 20 button mushrooms
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 green bell pepper; 1 red bell pepper
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 lemons
- 1 fresh green chilli (optional), chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. paprika
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- Pinch of dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 lemons
- 4 large savoy cabbage leaves, for your fajita wraps
Method
- Slice the chicken, mushrooms, onion and peppers into thin strips.
- Combine the herbs and spices (chilli, garlic, paprika, oregano, cumin, thyme), salt, and a few grinds of black pepper in a small dish.
- Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into a large, wide frying pan and place over a medium heat.
- Seal the chicken strips (this refers to the process of frying them until they turn white).
- This should take 4 minutes or so.
- Add the seasoning mixture (the herbs, spices, salt, and pepper) and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Throw in the sliced vegetables, then halve the lemon, and squeeze it over the vegetables to taste.
- Cook over a low heat for another 7 minutes.
- When your chicken and vegetable mixture are ready, place the 4 savoy leaves on a plate.
- Distribute the fajita mixture into 4 portions, and place a portion in the centre of each savoy leaf.
- Then wrap the savoy leaves into parcels or “fajitas”.
- These fajitas can be flimsy, so wrap them in foil to use as a handle.
