Easy Chicken Fajitas –Quick, Tasty, and Healthy!

Easy chicken fajitas. Makes me wonder, if I cook on a vacation, does it really make it a vacation?

But let's back up a minute. When I wrote about a pan last week, I thought I needed a vacation. Luckily, it happened to be time for my annual trip to the snow with my two best friends. Since we want to spend lots of time socializing instead of cooking, one girlfriend provided us this fast, healthy, and easy chicken fajita recipe.

What made it even better is that she did the 15 minutes of cooking! Thank goodness for my best friends.

2. Serve with black bean salad and the best healthy guacamole for a beautiful plate.
