EASY SPICY CHICKEN FAJITAS



Easy Spicy Chicken Fajitas image

An easy, low fat chicken fajita recipe with tons of spice and flavor! I have tweaked it over the past several months and have it the way my fiance and I love it. Any of the spices can be tweaked or omitted to suit your family's preferences. Good served with Spanish or Mexican rice and chips with salsa. I feel it's bold and absolutely delicious.

I haven't actually tried this recipe. It comes from The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook which was a Christmas gift. I have tried several of the dishes from the book and all have been good. Now that summer is here, I can do these on the grill.

2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
