CHICKEN FAJITA DINNER SKILLET

I made this the other day when I was trying to use up some frozen fajita vegetables. My husband begged me to write it down and make it again, since I tend to never make the same thing twice. I have put in instructions if you prefer to use fresh vegetables. I have seen a copycat recipe for Emeril's Bayou Blast cajun seasoning on this site, so if you can't find it at the store, use that. We like some kick, so if you aren't a huge fan of spice, cut the amount of Bayou Blast to taste. The leftovers were great for breakfast with scrambled eggs!

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes in the oven or microwave until fork-tender.
  • Set aside and let cool.
  • Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with Bayou Blast.
  • Grill or broil until no longer pink in the middle (I use my George Foreman grill, 5-6 minutes per side).
  • Slice the chicken and set aside.
  • Heat the frozen fajita vegetables as directed for skillet, or saute the fresh ones in a teaspoon of olive oil until crisp-tender.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high.
  • Slice the potatoes, and distribute evenly in the pan, in one layer.
  • Cook until a deep golden brown, then turn and brown on the other side.
  • Add the chicken and vegetables, garlic, and another generous dash of the Bayou Blast.
  • Heat through, and serve with warm tortillas and desired garnishes.
