A little bit of back story. The word fajita means little belt from faja for strip or belt, and the diminutive ita. It describes a skirt steak, and fajitas were traditionally made with grilled skirt steak, though now they can be made with chicken. Different flavor from the usual chicken fajitas, but very tangy! If desired, serve with warm tortillas, fresh picante sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, rice and beans!!!

Instructions to make Lunchtime Chicken Fajita Bowls w/ Mexican white sauce:
  1. Prep the peppers and onion by cutting them into strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Lay everything out on a cookie sheet lined with foil, chicken in the middle, peppers on one end and onions on the other. Drizzle everything with the olive oil and toss a little bit so it’s all coated. Sprinkle peppers and onions with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the chicken with your misc. seasoning.
  2. Bake on middle oven rack at 375 for 30-40 minutes (depending on how thick the chicken boobs are) Make the rice according to package directions. I used jasmine rice. – while that’s cooking, make the sauce.
  3. Sauce- again, this sauce makes the whole thing. This sauce is the robin to Batman. The Louise to Thelma. The Mallory to Mickey. The gravy to KFC’s mashed potatoes… you get the idea.. In a separate container combine the milk, miracle whip and sour cream. Add the dash of lime juice. Whip with a fork till it’s all combined. Add all the spice ingredients and whip again to combine. Add the fresh cilantro last and just let it relax on top. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Mix
  4. Side note about the sauce. I didn’t use actual measurements for anything when making mine, so this is just a guideline. Keep tasting and adjusting accordingly. I like spicy, bold flavor. Also you’re looking for the consistency to be a tad thicker than milk.
  5. Ok. When the oven is done let everything cool enough to handle with your bare hands. Slice the chicken across the grain. Now we build the bowls.
  6. I made 4 portions out of this and honestly it was a lot of food haha probably could’ve made 5 instead but I only had 4 Tupperware containers. Don’t forget to drain the corn and black beans. Lay out a layer of tortilla strips (yes they will lose their crunch but that’s what I wanted. Just the corn tortilla flavor) Next, a layer of rice. In one corner a couple spoons of corn. The other corner, some of the onion. Another corner, black beans. In the last corner some of the pepper strips.
  7. Sprinkle all of it with a bit more of the spice blend. Garnish with fresh cilantro. They should somewhat resemble the photo. Now lunches are ready for the week! Bring a separate container of the sauce and you’re set!
  8. When reheating this at work, I microwave for about a minute, cut up the chicken into bite size pieces, mix it all together and finish reheating. THEN drizzle the white sauce all over it. One round of cooking and you’ve got a weeks worth of home cooked lunches your coworkers will be jealous of you over!—– P.S (search sheet pan chicken on YouTube and there’s a cool little minute long demo of the oven part of this, which inspired this recipe)
  9. Ready to serve and ENJOY!
