2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

It's simple, tasty, easily altered for a twist on the taste, and can be easily prepared in under 15 minutes. Serve with other fajita elements and enjoy!

CHICKEN FAJITA MARINADE



Chicken Fajita Marinade image

This excellent chicken marinade is from texascooking.com. I make this frequently. I use a three pound package of boneless chicken breast and throw it in a one gallon zip-lock bag with the marinade. Yes, I feel guilty about using the plastic bags but I try to wash and reuse them. I cook them on a Weber grill, hot side/cold side, I wrap and freeze the breasts we don't use at the meal and when we break them out they're almost as fresh as when they were first cooked.
