Lemon Lime Chicken Fajitas

So…in my house…this is how it works. My kids, ADORE chicken. My hubby and I…NOT so much. It’s not that we HATE chicken…it’s just never the first thing we think of when we are hungry. Okay…so maybe my hubby hates it, just a little. Over the years, I’ve learned…he’ll eat ANYTHING I fix, and he doesn’t complain, EVER. He will simply say…”let’s not have that again for a while…okay?” (SO PRECIOUS!!) He likes fried chicken…so that’s always safe. Other than that…it’s a crap shoot.

I decided to try this recipe out on him. I was a little sceptical….Lime…is also a crap shoot sometimes! lol But, get this: When dinner was over, I figured…as usual, I better just freeze all the left overs, and I’ll eat them up slowly after he goes back to Montana. Then, the craziest thing happened. One day, I had been a bit busy, and let the time get away from me. When I asked him what he wanted me to fix for supper….he said “Hey, let’s just thaw those chicken fajitas that you made the other day out…and have them.” HUH? Did I just hear my hubby ASK to be fed chicken? I almost fainted! That was an absolute first in the Killough household!

With that said, I hope your chicken lovers…and NON-chicken lovers, like this recipe as much as we did. By the way, I just ate the last one for supper tonight! YUMMO!
