RECIPE: Chicken Fajita
INGREDIENTS:
¾ cup milk stout
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 medium onion, cut in half and sliced
1 yellow pepper, seeded and julienned
1 red pepper, seeded and julienned
Salt and pepper to taste
8 tortillas, each cut into 4 triangles
1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup sour cream to serve
Coriander leaves
METHOD:
Combine the first six ingredients and stir well to create the marinade. Place chicken strips in a zip-lock bag or bowl and add ¾ cup of the marinade. Allow to marinate in the fridge for one hour. In a separate bowl combine the onion, peppers and remaining marinade and toss to make sure they are well coated. Then also set in the fridge to marinate.
Heat a pan with a dollop of oil. Remove chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste. Then cook in a hot pan for about two minutes on each side or until cooked. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside in a covered bowl to keep warm.
Remove peppers and onion from marinade and pan-fry in same pan where you made the chicken. Cook until tender. To serve, place chicken strips onto a platter and top with onions and peppers and garnish with jalapeno slices. Serve with toasted tortillas and sour cream.
