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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
