Chicken Fajita Recipe

3 chicken breasts (boneless/skinless -about 1-1/2 lbs)- flatten to about 1/3" thick - as even as possible.
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large onion cut into slices
1 red or green bell pepper cut into slices
6 button mushrooms cut into slices
3 cloves garlic crushed
Crushed chili peppers to taste
Parika to taste
Cumin to taste
Salt and pepper
8 soft tortillas

Toppings
Grated cheese (your preference), Diced tomato, Chopped lettuce, Yougurt or sour cream.

Marinate the chicken for as much time as you can with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, crushed peppers, paprika, pinch of salt and pepper.

Over medium-high heat, add remaining olive oil and cook onions, bell peppers, mushrooms until they become soft (not too soft, about 3 minutes) and browned. Place in bowl and cover with foil. Use same pan and cook chicken until done (about 4- 5 minutes a side). Slice the chicken in even strips.

Warm the tortillas at 325 for 5 minutes.

On a large platter, place chicken on one side, veggies an the other and all your toppings in the center and let everyone serve themselves!
