Spicy Honey Kissed Chicken Fajitas



      Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat removed.
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips.
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips.
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips.
1 Onion, cut into strips.

      Sauce:
2 teaspoons ground Cumin.
1 teaspoon rubbed or crumbled Sage.
1 teaspoon ground Ginger.
½ to 1 teaspoon freshly ground Pepper.
1 teaspoon Salt.
2 tablespoons Olive oil.
6 tablespoons Lemon juice.
2 tablespoons Honey.
2 tablespoons light Soy sauce.

      In a small bowl, whisk together the Fajita sauce ingredients; Cumin, Sage, Ginger, Pepper, Salt, Olive oil, Lemon juice, Honey and Soy sauce.

      Next, pound the chicken breasts on both sides with a mallet until ¼ inch thick. Put the pounded chicken into a shallow pan and marinade them in the sauce for 15 minutes then continue pounding until all the pieces are flattened. Bake chicken at 350*f, about 9 minutes, remove them and slice crosswise into ¼ inch wide strips.

      Combine cooked chicken strips, onion and bell pepper strips and the Fajita sauce in a large bowl and mix together. Cook the combined ingredients on a smooth hot griddle, while stirring add the remaining sauce as it cooks until the chicken Fajita reaches the desired consistency and flavor, discard the unused sauce.

      Heat the tortillas in a microwave oven until hot and then fill them with the cooked Fajita mixture. Serve 3 folded Fajitas on a room temperature plate with beans or rice and a small side of garden salad, serves 6.
