Fajita in a Bowl



While it's nothin' fancy, I typically make dinner 5 nights a week.  Even on the long, busy days, I manage to get chicken in the oven, steam some broccoli, and get some rice cooking on the stove.  To make getting a meal on the table a stress-free experience, I rotate between 5 meals each week - this fajita bowl being one of them.  It's quick with minimal prep (approx. 15 minutes) and its healthy! 

I love meals where I can throw it in the oven and walk away...because this precious peanut pulls...at my leg constantly heart strings.

Below are the simple steps:

1) Toss chicken strips/breasts into a baking dish, slice up some red/yellow bell peppers to throw on top and pour your favorite salsa (instant seasoning) all over everything! Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes (aka free time).


2) About 15 minutes before chicken is done, slice up some avocado & tomatoes, shred cheese (if desired), and start some rice on the stove (...more hands-free time)


3) A secret ingredient is to replace sour cream with plain greek yogurt - you won't be able to taste the difference and it's so much healthier.


4) Pull out chicken, place on top of rice, add sliced tomatoes, cheese, avocado, and greek yogurt and enjoy!! 


I love healthy, home-made meals that require little effort -  I hope you try it!
