Mexican Night

One of the fun things about being a new wife is discovering new recipes. When they are a success, I come into work the next day to tell Kelli and Reenie this great new way to make chicken...aren't I innovative?! Only to discover that they have been making chicken that way for years. Oh well. It only deflated my joy. It didn't squash it completely.

I am going to tell you about it like it's a brand new discovery - broil chicken in the broiler for 5-7 minutes and it comes out delicious and wonderful. I put some veggie oil, chili powder, salt and pepper to season it and we have fast fajitas - cha, cha, cha! We also added some peppers and onions (again under the broiler) and avocados (not under the broiler because they are perfect the way they are).



My boy loves Mexican. He ate 2 of these!


I think we will be eating more of these in the future, especially on those nights when we need a fast but yummy meal. And I'll try rice or beans next time. If you have a good recipe, let me know and I will try it. I was not able to do rice or beans this time because of the fire that started in our oven. Apparently our broiler does not like chicken as much as we do.

I am sorry I deflated your joy, it was not my intention. I never would have mentioned that I have cooked chicken under the broiler if you did not ask. Your fajitas looked very yummy.
