I am a huge fan of fajitas and today I was really craving lime chicken! I decided to create a variation of this Chicken Fajita recipe from EatingWell's website. Instead of putting the chicken in a tortilla, I went for the healthier route and put my fajita over chopped romaine. The result was delicious!
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 thin, boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 red pepper
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- Chopped Romaine lettuce (enough to serve 2)
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 sweet white onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp Cilantro
- 1/8 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp plain, fat-free sour cream
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to broil
- In the meantime take the two chicken breasts and marinate at room temperature in a bowl containing the juice of one 1 lime, salt and pepper (to taste) for 10 minutes.
- For the salad "dressing", whisk together the Greek yogurt, sour cream, cumin, 1 tbsp cilantro, and 1 tsp mined jalapeño. Season with salt, and set aside.
- Place chicken on a lightly oiled baking sheet and broil for 3-4 minutes.
- While chicken is broiling, sauté sliced red pepper, and onion on a skillet.
- Flip chicken and broil until inside of chicken is no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes)
- Add black beans, cumin, and extra jalapeño, remaining tbsp cilantro (optional) to the pepper/onion mix. Continue to sauté until beans are heated through.
- Toss veggies over romain and top with sliced chicken.
- Use yogurt/sour cream mix as a dip or dressing and toss with salad.
If you need an extra crunch you can always crumble up a few tortilla chips!
Enjoy :)
