Southwestern Chicken Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 1
    1 - 1 1/2 ounce fajita seasoning mix
  • 1/2
    cup water
  • 2
    tablespoons cooking oil
  • 12
    ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1
    medium yellow or green sweet pepper, cut into squares
  • 1
    small zucchini, bias sliced
  • 1/2
    small onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 2/3
    cup salsa
  • 1
    teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2
    cup frozen whole kernel corn
  • 1/2
    cup cooked or canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8
    8 inches flour tortillas (optional)
  • 6
    cups mixed greens (optional)
  • 1/2
    cup shredded reduced-fat co-jack cheese (optional)
Directions

1. For marinade, combine the fajita mix, water, and oil in a medium mixing bowl. Add chicken to marinade; stir to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. Spray a wok or large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add sweet pepper, zucchini, and onion; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from wok.

3. Drain chicken; discard marinade. Add chicken to wok. (Add additional tablespoon cooking oil to wok during cooking, if necessary, to prevent sticking.) Cook and stir for 4 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Return vegetables to wok. Stir together salsa and chili powder. Add salsa mixture, corn, and beans to wok. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through.

4. If desired, serve with warm tortillas and cheese. To warm the tortillas, wrap in microwave-safe paper towels; microwave on 100 percent power (high) for 30 seconds. Or serve atop a bed of mixed greens. Makes 4 servings.

I have made this recipe many times. It is always a crowd pleaser. I serve it with spanish rice and a garden salad. I always get request for the recipe. It's a keeper.
