PC Day 7: Paleo for Dummies

If there ever was a "Paleo Diet for Dummies", this blog would be it. Nabbed myself a quick recipe for Chicken Fajitas for an easy-peasy dinner!

Recipe:
2 lbs chicken breast, cut in thin strips (I used chicken thighs)
2 bell peppers, sliced (red, green or yellow)
1 onion, sliced
2 tbsp oregano, chili powder, cumin and coriander
4-6 chopped garlic cloves
Juice of 1 lemon
salt/ pepper to taste
4 tbsp cooking fat (coconut oil, tallow or ghee are excellent here)
Butter lettuce to serve (I used iceberg)
You choice of toppings: diced tomatoes, fermented pickles, sauerkraut, sliced avocados, salsa, guacamole, mayonnaise and/or salsa verde)

Method:
Mix all the spices into the chicken, along with the lemon juice. If you have time, marinade for an hour or more. If not, just throw it in a hot pan with some olive oil and brown till done! Set chicken aside. Next, hit the pan with a little water or chicken broth to deglaze the the flavor nuggets from the pan. Throw in the onions and peppers and sautee till desired crispness.

I served mine on iceberg lettuce with guacamole and chopped tomatoes. I also had bought extra, pre-seasoned beef fajita steak meat at the grocery store for variety.. and because the Caveman insisted on it. Both tasted wonderful and took almost no time to prepare!

Happy Eating!
