Recipe Instructions

Place all of the ingredients into a blender and liquefy. Add to a bowl into which you have placed the chicken strips, mix well and place into the refrigerator for 8 hours. This marinade also works well for other meats, poultry and seafood and is great on the barbecue.

Once chicken is finished marinating, place it into a skillet heated on medium-high. Stir the chicken as it cooks. Once cooked, transfer into an attractive serving bowl, perferably one with a lid. Another option is to grill the chicken on the barbecue.

Into another skillet, heat olive oil on medium- high. Add the onion and peppers and let saute until the onion reaches a nice golden colour. Then sprinkle the oregano, basil and jalapeno pepper on top. Transfer to a serving dish.

To serve the fajitas, place pieces of chicken and a couple of spoons of vegetables along the centre of a warmed flour tortilla. Wrap and eat. A dollop of sour cream, guacamole or salsa make a nice accompaniment.
