Chicken Fajitas

INGREDIENTS
2 chicken breasts, halved (1 lb.)
¾ cup onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
4- 6” diameter corn tortillas
¼ cup Beverly Hills Ranch Dressing
2 Tbs. sliced jalapenos (optional)


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300F. Coat frying pan with non-stick cooking spray. On medium heat, stir-fry the chicken strips until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter. To the skillet, add onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, garlic and chili powder and gently sauté for 10 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to prevent sticking. Return chicken to skillet, mix well and remove from heat and set aside.

Heat tortillas in oven for 5 minutes. Divide chicken/vegetable mixture evenly between the four tortillas. Serve with a scoop of Ranch dressing. Add jalapenos if desired.
