Chicken Fajitas Recipe

The best way to show your mom how much you love and appreciate her is to cook for her (if you are into cooking).  One thing I didn't do so much for my mom is to cook for her!  Because I grew up having her or my sister cook for us #luckyme

But after turning into a mom myself, I realized I need to use my knowledge in cooking and share it to my own family!  (May talent din pala ako sa cooking guys!)

I am definitely not a "Chef-kind-of-girl" but I am definitely a cook that can whip up easy-yet-warm-to-the-tummy dishes!  Everything I cook takes less than 45 minutes because I'm always in a rush!  I recently shared my Chicken Fajitas recipe on Instagram Stories and I was overwhelmed with the request I get to share this simple recipe!

Pardon the photos because I only use cellphone camera, who in the world can hold a DSLR camera while cooking?  (If you can --- I salute you!)

Chicken Fajitas ala AMW

Ingredients:

• Boneless Chicken Thighs or breasts
• Old El Paso Fajitas (bought at Robinsons Supermarket)
• Large Onion
• 1 Large Green or Red Bell Pepper (both are better so your dish is more colorful)
• Salt, pepper 
• Mushrooms (optional

For sauce:

• Cream Cheese
• Sour cream
• Milk
• Powder Garlic
• Broth from the Chicken

1. Marinate the chicken cubes with a tablespoon or 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and seasoning (I used Maggie Magic Sarap)

2. Seal everything in a resealable plastic bag.

3. In a large pan, saute chopped onions, peppers and mushrooms until crisp.  Set aside.

4. After minimum of 30 minutes marinating the chicken cubes, pour in a hot pan with a bit of oily and cook the chicken.

5. Remove excess marinade and cook until chicken turns white.
6. Pour in the vegetables.

Time to make the garlic dip!

• In a bowl, combine sour cream and yoghurt with a tiny amount of milk.  
• Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour in a bit of the marinade that was removed from the chicken.
• Put the dip in the fridge for a couple of minutes to an hour to cool it.

Now, you're ready to scoop the chicken filling and add a bit of your garlic dip!  VOILA!  This was a winner!

It was a first for me to try this recipe and it was a huge hit!  My sister-in-law even commented that this tastes even better than the ones she had in restaurants.  :)

Have a wonderful cooking session with your loved ones!  

Happy Mother's Day!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!
