Chicken Fajitas
We all know how difficult it can be to provide our family with healthy meals they will actually enjoy, when time is limited and kids are notoriously finicky. This quick and simple dish packs in a lot of flavour so everyone at the dinner table will be happy. Add fun toppings like guacamole, low-fat cheese, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, and chopped tomatoes or salsa. Kids love assembling a fajita just the way they like it, so they are more inclined to eat a well-rounded meal with their favorite ingredients.
These chicken fajitas are so much fun to prepare and taste great, what’s not to love?
