SKINNY CHICKEN FAJITA SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a large sauce 6-8 quart pot over medium heat. Add the oil, chopped bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Saute for 3-5 minutes to soften.

CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken with lime juice, and season with chile powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin.
• Season vegetables with salt and pepper and toss with olive oil.
• To grill the onions and peppers outside on the grill, use a cast iron skillet and grill covered over medium heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Or, to cook them indoors, you can use a large skillet on the stove over medium heat for 16 to 18 minutes, covered until the onions and peppers are soft.
• Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium heat; grill chicken until cooked through, about 8 minutes on each side.
• Transfer to a cutting board when done and cut into strips. Once cooked, combine with the peppers and onions.
• Serve immediately with warmed tortillas, cheese and toppings.

SKINNY CHICKEN FAJITA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a stockpot (I used 8qt.) over a little more than medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until just tender, toss in the garlic at the end so it doesn't burn, about 3-5 minutes.
• Slowly stir in chicken broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add whole chicken breast to the pot. Bring to a boil and add the fajita seasoning, tomatoes, beans, and corn. Reduce the heat and simmer 20-25 minutes.
• Start the rice on the back burner according to package instructions.
• Remove chicken breast to a plate when done, let rest a couple minutes then shred chicken, using 2 forks and return to pot. Add the lime juice.
• Add a little rice to the bottom of the bowl, ladle your soup in and garnish with chopped avocado, cilantro, or green onions and cheese.
