Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas

September 27, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I was going to wait to share this recipe with you, but it is way to good not to share now!!  Dailybuzz was asking for tastemakers to try McCormick’s Recipe Inspirations, and one of the recipes was for Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas.  One thing I love is chicken fajitas!  I could so eat them everyday!  I’m not kidding about that!  Just ask my Husband!!  The combination of peppers and onions with seasoned chicken is pure foodie heaven to my palate!  As soon as I saw what the recipe was, I just had to try it!!!  Let me tell you, I am so glad I did!!

These Fajitas tasted like it they were from a restaurant!  The flavor of garlic and lime were not over whelming at all, but you could definitely taste them.  The added spices were a perfect combination.  This is one little packet I will be buying again!


This dish is very easy to make!!  All you do is marinate your chicken for 30 minutes or longer, cook the chicken with the marinade.  Cook up your onions and peppers, mix the chicken and vegetable combination together and dinner is served!!  Besides marinating the chicken, the whole meal took about 12 minutes to make!! Talk about a fast week night dinner!!!

To be honest, my Husband is not a chicken fajita fan, not because of the onions and peppers, but because it’s chicken.  He believes that tacos should just be ground beef.  I disagree with him, big time!!  But he had this for dinner tonight and he loved it!!  He ate 3 fat tacos!! You know my normal question to him, “would you eat this again?”  He said definitely!!  Yah!!

I gave one of my sample packets to my friend at work, and she had her fajitas for dinner last night.  She said she didn’t have the juice, so she used canned tomatoes and she said it tasted fantastic!!!  I think that was a great idea and a great substitution.  She was going to bring me a sample, but her Husband said no, that he wanted the leftovers for his dinner!!!   I think another great idea would be to use this seasoning with shrimp!!  Oh my gosh that would taste wonderful.  I can only imagine marinating the shrimp in the seasoning and then grilling it, and brushing the remaining marinade on it!!  Oh, man, I guess I know what I’m going to do next!!  Note to self, buy shrimp.

You have to try this seasoning!  I am really impressed with it!  I would never of thought to use a seasoning packet for my fajitas, but it was perfect!  Everything you needed is in there, and the best part is, the spices are fresh, you can smell them when you open up the individual little pockets.

I thought it would be fun to show you my messy fajitas! I see a lot of people blog such gorgeous meals and treats, that look so delectable you just want to reach through your computer screen and grab it, but you never really see what they look like when their at the table eating.  I’m human and I’m not afraid to show my true self!!  I doctored up my fajitas with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, hot sauce and greek yogurt!!  I love it messy!!!

Yum!!!  Since it was just my Husband and I for dinner, I have leftovers!  I’m going to make a chicken fajita salad for lunch tomorrow!! I can not wait!!!  Sorry for all the enthusiasm,  I get so excited when I try new things and I love them!!!  You know me and food!

Time for kitchen clean-up!  Have a wonderful day!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    We are serious fajita lovers at my house too. I never thought to use the leftovers on a salad though. I love it!

    YUM! My husband and I could eat fajitas pretty much daily too – and whenever I’m at a restaurant and someone near me has ordered them I’m jealous and wish I had some too!! These look great!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I’m so happy it’s half way over. It’s been so busy and yesterday I didn’t feel good. I had Chipotle for lunch and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Ugh!

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
