    Tips and Tricks

    Can I make these ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prep your vegetables and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also mix up the seasoning and have it ready to go. You can even season everything and place in the freezer in a freezer baggie until ready, thaw and cook as normal.

    How long will this last?

    After cooking and cooling to room temperature, store in an airtight container int he refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on a low oven setting.

    How can I make sure my chicken isn't overcooked?

    Cut the chicken into smaller strips all about the same time. This will insure that the shorter cook time will get the chicken done. Around 165 degrees internal temperature will be perfect!

    Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas. Supper is done, delicious and healthy!

    Cooking light doesn't have to be boring. Even if you don't add all of the normal toppings or forego the tortillas, you can still have a filling and delicious meal. Having this meal done in under an hour keeps you from eating too late and having the vegetables and protein of the chicken will keep you full.

    Coming in at just over 200 calories per serving, you can afford to add that guacamole or cheese! Feeding your family doesn't have to be expensive for the budget or your health. You can make it a salad too and add a little crunch with these HOMEMADE TORTILLA STRIPS
