Pretty Peppers



I grew these beautiful tri-color peppers in my garden. I love the colors in them.
Problem is...I am the only one in the family who likes them. What to do with all these pretty peppers?
Well...here's what I did. I seeded them and sliced them up. I baked 4 chicken breasts in the oven. I chopped up some Walla Walla sweet onions.
Once the chicken was cooked, I sliced it up nicely. Then I sprayed a frying pan with some non-stick spray. I tossed in the peppers and onions and sauteed them. Then I put in the chicken breast. To season it up, I cheated and just used this packaged fajita mix.


I continued cooking until it was done. Then I put my fajita into a nice whole wheat tortilla. Just delicious! Almost as good as getting fajitas at Chevy's once you add some cilantro and fresh tomatoes and lettuce.
Then I took the remaining peppers, onions and chicken breasts and divided them into three freezer bags. I popped those babies into the feezer. Now I have ready-made frozen "fast" food for a lunch or dinner.
What a great way to avoid having these pretty peppers go to waste.
Simple. Healthy. Easy. Don't you love it?
