Chicken Fajita Sandwiches
Quick scrumptious meal that will not break the bank!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup sliced onion
- 3 cups sliced bell peppers (green, red, yellow or orange)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 whole boneless chicken breasts approximately 1 pound of chicken
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning use your favorite brand
- 4 large sub buns sliced in half
- 8 slices Colby jack or pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan add peppers and onion, salt and pepper to taste. Saute over medium high heat, for 5 minutes intermittently moving vegetables around in pan. Once vegetables are starting to get soft and slightly brown, turn heat off and remove vegetables to a plate.
- Remove any grizzle, tendons, fat from chicken and slice against the grain in very thin slices.(this can be done while you are cooking vegetables) Add remaining tablespoon of butter to pan when butter is sizzling add chicken slices and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook until all chicken is no longer pink, cooked through, and brown around the edges, about 5 minutes maybe a little longer.
- While you are cooking chicken place buns open faced on a baking sheet and place in oven on top rack with broiler on low. Allow buns to just start to become brown, approximately 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sandwich Assembly: lay slices of chicken on bottom half of sub bun, cover with peppers and onions, if using small buns lay a slice of cheese on top of vegetables. (larger sub bun calls for 2 slices of cheese) return sandwich to broiler and watch while cheese melts this will only take a minute so don’t walk away!
Notes
Serve sandwich as is or drizzle with home buttermilk ranch dressing. Add a small salad or corn chips and salsa and you’ve got yourself a meal!
