Naked Chicken Fajitas Bowl With Yoghurt-Avocado Sauce



Ingredients:
  •  1 brown onion, peeled & sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper (capsicum), deseeded & sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsps cooking oil
  • 20g (0.7 ounce) Fajitas Spice Mix (I used Old El Paso brand)
  •  300g (11 ounces) pre-sliced chicken breasts strips
  • 2 bowls of cooked rice (I cooked my rice mixed with red quinoa in a rice cooker)
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced (you can also use lettuce)
Note – the spice mix I used contained salt so I didn’t add salt to the chicken. Remember to add salt if your spice mix is salt-free.

Yoghurt-Avocado Sauce

  • 4 tbsps Greek Yoghurt
  • 1 small avocado
  • 1 small clove of garlic, peeled and rough chopped into smaller pieces
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Juice from 1/2 a lime
  • Water (about 2 – 3 tbsps)
  • Freshly grinded black pepper
  • Chilli flakes to taste *optional*

Method:-

-->
Cook rice with your preferred method (I often use a rice cooker). While the rice is cooking, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 2 tbsps cooking oil and spice mix and stir to combine. Then mix the spice mixture with the chicken strips until every piece is well coated. Set aside for them to marinate. Slice an onion and a capsicum. Set aside.

To prepare the sauce: add all the sauce ingredients (except for salt and pepper) in a small processor and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl. Add more water if you preferred a more diluted consistency. Add salt to taste and black pepper. Sprinkle some chilli flakes if you like. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the chicken fajitas.

Preheat a pan/wok until fairly hot. Arrange the chicken on the pan and cook on high heat until the chicken are golden brown (the spice coating appears to be caramelised a little). Turn the chicken on the other side and let them cooked until the other side is just cooked through. Then add the onion and capsicum and saute on high heat until the onion is slightly translucent and the latter is slightly soften.

To serve: In a medium sized bowl, add rice and topped with chicken fajitas and slices of cucumber. Finish off with a drizzle of the avocado-yoghurt sauce and a small wedge of lime.
