Chicken Fajitas and Homemade Salsa

I just HAD to share tonight's dinner.  Infact, my husband said, "You should take a picture of this."  Tonight's meal is another one of our favorites that is made in the Deep Covered Baker (DCB) in the microwave.  First off I'll put the pictures and then of course at the end you'll see the recipes!  If you don't have a DCB it's a MUST HAVE!  Coming soon I'll make the Molten Lava cake.  I just wish everyone could smell the smells I smell in my kitchen! YUMMY!

Before shot of Salsa! I used the Manual Food Processor to make the salsa!



Finished Product! We made this batch SPICY!




Uncooked chicken with Chiptole Rub on top (this cooks in 12 minutes in the microwave)



Water boils quickly in the Executive Cookware pot!

Tortillas in Micro Cooker (takes about 25-30 seconds)

 



Chopping the chicken with the Salad Choppers





It's ready!

 So here's the recipes!

Recipes!

Chicken Fajitas 2 medium onions                                                    1 package fajita-size flour tortillas
2 green bell pepper                                                             8 oz block Monterey jack cheese
2 red bell pepper                                                      8 oz. Sour cream
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves       1 bag tortilla chips

2 Tbsp. Chipotle rub                                          

For the fresh Salsa
4 fresh tomatoes                                                      1 lime
1 green onion                                                           1 clove garlic
1 fresh jalapeno pepper                                         cilantro

1.  Slice up onions and peppers; place in bottom of Deep Covered Baker. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. Chipotle Rub.

2.  Sprinkle additional 1 Tbsp. Chipotle rub over both Sides of chicken and place chicken breasts on top of vegetables.

3.  Cover and microwave for 10-15 minutes. 

4.  Place flour tortillas in Micro Cooker and cook for about 30 seconds

5.  While the chicken is cooking, place all salsa ingredients in the manual food processor.  Pump the handle until your salsa reaches your desired consistency.  You can also use the Salad Choppers to chop all the indgredients together if you don't have the manual food processor!

6.  Take out peppers and onions and put into a serving bowl.  Leave chicken in DCB with the broth and chop with the Salad Chopper

So as you can see there are some GREAT must have products!  Of course the DCB! The Manual Food Processor is another great product!  If you have an electric one you can use that too but the Manual Food Processor is so quick and easy and less of a mess! The salad choppers are great too but it's not hard to fork the chicken into pieces.  YES it will come out that tender!
