at long last: chicken fajitas how-to

Several dishes have become favorites of the 1707 clan – Chicken Parmigiane, homemade pizza, Chopped Salad, Noodles & Company Knock-off, to name a few. But, all in all, the favorite of the favorites is T’s Chicken Fajitas. Truly superb.

The secret? The sauce.

1. So, let’s jump right in and watch and listen as 1707’s master chef describes the secret behind the sauce:

To recap: Heat on low, combine in small saucepan:

  • 1/4 C Kikkokman Soy Sauce
  • 4-5 “squirts” Lea & Perrin’s Worcestershire Sauce (about 2T)
  • 1/4-1/3 C Pure Honey (or brown sugar) until tension between salty, tangy and sweet is equal

Turn off heat, set aside.

2. Chop one medium (yellow or white) onion and one medium sweet pepper (we used red). Heat 3T Extra Virgin Olive Oil in large skillet until quite hot. Add the onion and peppers and saute until onions become translucent. Set aside.

3. Next: Chop 2 C cooked chicken pieces (we used our favorite Kirkland Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken). Heat 2 T EVOO in same large skillet, then add chopped chicken all at once. Heat through on High heat, stirring (or tossing) frequently until lightly browned.

4. Reduce heat to medium. Add reserved Fajita Sauce (see step 1) to chicken, stirring to coat. Bring to simmer. Transfer chicken to serving bowl.
