Chicken Fajitas

My sister-in-law sent me this recipe from www.cooks.com. It has become one of our family favorites. When I am in a bind or can't think of what to prepare, this is a go-to recipe. Enjoy!

---------------
CHICKEN FAJITAS
---------------

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 stick butter
1 cap full Mrs. Dash (regular or chipotle)
1 large onion
1 green pepper
1/4 brown sugar
lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, tortillas


Slice chicken into long strips, place in pan with half of the butter and Mrs. Dash.  Cook until done and lightly browned. Stir in a small amount of water or chicken broth and the brown sugar. Cook until caramelized.

Chop the pepper and onions into strips and rings, sauté in a separate skillet with the remaining butter. Cook until onions are caramelized and peppers have crispy edges.

These fajitas are really easy to make and a little different because they're sweet and spicy.

These sound great Crystal- and so simple! I hope I can find some of that chipotle Mrs. Dash around here! I would have never considered making fajitas with brown sugar!

I haven't tried the chipotle Mrs. Dash, it sounds a little too spicy for my picky eaters. I just use the original flavor; it adds a little heat, but not too much.
