Chicken Fajitas

1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1 TBSP Cornstarch
1/4 c Water
3 TBSP Olive Oil (divided)
1 Whole Chicken Breast cut into 1/2" strips (I used ~12 oz chicken strips: 9 oz onion/pepper mix.)
1 Green Bell Pepper (I used red and green peppers.)
1 Medium Onion
2 TBSP Fresh Lime Juice (I used lemon juice.)

I placed the spices blended in one baggie, cheese blend in another baggie, and chicken/pepper/onion/lemon juice/water/cornstarch and 2T of oil in another baggie.

TO REHEAT/PREPARE:
1. THAW either in microwave OR overnight in fridge.
2. MIX spice blend with chicken baggie.
3. HEAT ~1T oil in pan.
4. ADD chicken/spices to pan.
5. COOK ~6 minutes. Chicken will be cooked through and tender.
6. SERVE with tortillas, cheese, and any other condiment you may enjoy ~ guacamole, salsa, tomato, sour cream, rice, beans. We put rice in fajita tortilla. The girls LOVE them with a touch of sour cream. I especially like the sour cream as it makes a great 'glue' for the rice, chicken, cheese, pepper and onion! LESS MESS ~ YEAH:)
