Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Fajitas are a mid week recipe for my family. I make the marinade in advance and let it do its work overnight. All that’s needed is fry the chicken and vegetables, wrap in a tortilla and serve. Serve as a main dish for 4 people within 25 minutes. The recipe is sure to make you happy with its beautiful Mexican flavours and moist chicken. A colourful tasty dish.
