Chicken Fajitas

Easy and delicious dinner idea.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Additional Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced

Spices:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil + one more tablespoon
• 1 tablespoon lime (or lemon)
• 2 teaspoons chili powder, or cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Optional ingredients:

• Warm flour tortillas, for serving
• Shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, etc.

Instructions

1. To make these Chicken Fajitas, start by marinating the chicken slices in a mixture of spices, lime juice, and oil for at least 30 minutes. This will help infuse the flavors into the meat and make it tender. While the chicken is marinating, thinly slice the bell peppers and onions.
2. Once the chicken has marinated for at least 30 minutes, heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil, and add the chicken. Cook until it's no longer pink in the center and has a nice caramelized exterior. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the fajitas. I like adding it together once everything is done.
4. To assemble the fajitas, warm up the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a generous amount of the cooked chicken, bell peppers, and onions in the center of each tortilla. Add any desired toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.
5. Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to keep the filling intact. Serve the Chicken Fajitas warm with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans for a complete meal.

Calzone is an Italian oven-baked folded pizza that originated in Naples. Now with so many filling choices, you can design your calzone however you want, just like pizza.

The stuffing or filling that I am using today is my favorite. It takes several steps to make it, but let me tell you, it’s not difficult at all. I consider this in a league of very easy dishes.

 Also, you may make your own dough or get it from the store. When I am lazy, usually I’d get dough from the store, but most of the time I make it a night before.

RECIPE FOR HOMEMADE PIZZA DOUGH 

However, my boys are not too keen on mushrooms so I’d make for my older one Hawaiian Calzone, and for my youngest boy three meat Calzone.

My daughter essentially loves anything that you put in front of her, and she is not as picky as my boys, but I got to give them a credit that at least they try.

Personally, for me, mushrooms are heavenly. I love them and probably add them in so many one-pot dishes, especially sauces. Mushrooms are so delicious and there is nobody who can convince me otherwise.

Now, if you do not eat meat at all, please use loads of mushrooms, maybe sauteed peppers and onions, and make your vegetarian calzone.

With that being said, you may use sauteed chicken, beef, or deli hard salami, pepperoni, ham, etc. Seriously the possibilities are endless, however, today I am using my favorite.

Easy and delicious recipe for Italian Sausage and Mushroom Calzone

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Additional Time 10 minutes

Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

• 1 Pizza Dough about 1 lb, cut into 4 equal balls
• 1/2 tbsp. per calzone - Ricotta Cheese
• 2-3 slices per - Mozzarella
• 1 slice per - Provolone

Mushrooms:

• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
• 1/2 pound Mushrooms sliced
• Dash of Salt and ground black pepper
• Italian sausage:
• 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
• 1 pound Italian Sausage

Brush on:

• Olive Oil + 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/4 cup butter

Dipping Sauce:

• 1 can Fire-roasted Tomatoes diced
• 1/2 can Tomato Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Basil
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 tsp. Olive oil

Instructions

1. Sauce - Heat a pan to medium and add fire-roasted diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, herbs, and oil. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, just until it starts to bubble. Cover and set aside until ready for dipping.
2. Mushrooms - Heat oil in a skillet/pan and add sliced mushrooms. Never wash mushrooms, but using a wet cloth, wipe the mushrooms. Cook mushrooms on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes or until they look cooked and all the liquid evaporates. You need to saute them because they will produce liquid inside of the calzone while baking. After that is done, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
3. Italian sausage - Heat oil in a skillet/pan and cook Italian sausage without casting. If your Italian sausage is in casting, remove it completely before cooking. Cook sausage for 5-7 minutes, or until it is no longer pink and it looks cooked through. After Italian sausage is cooked, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.

CALZONE

1. Roll and press each ball into a circle 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Place filling ( cheese, meat, mushrooms, cheese) onto one-half, leaving about 1/2 inch border around the edge. Fold dough over filling; pinch and roll edges to seal in filling.
2. Brush on each a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with some garlic powder.
3. Bake about 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is golden brown at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Cool 10 minutes on a cookie sheet, and while cooling brush on a bit of melted butter.
5. Serve warm with pizza sauce, and perhaps a salad.

Notes

You can use any filling that you desire. Make sure to dry it if it's sauteed, so it's a great idea to use a paper towel to absorb any moisture. If you are using sauce, such as pizza sauce, do not go overboard.

Add a tablespoon or 2, also on one-half of the calzone-dough rolled disk.

TIP: If you are buying pizza dough in the can (Pillsbury) make sure to get two of those because, for 4 calzones, 1 can will not be enough unless you are going to make a smaller version.

Try looking for homestyle pizza dough in a bakery section of your grocery store. Ask, if you can't find it. They make it fresh and store it in those little fridges close to deli meat, cakes, and bread
