C's Chicken Fajita's

 The kiddo is taking a chicken cooking class. Week 2 was her making Chicken Fajita's and man, this recipe was SO good. She is in charge from here on out with making these... The marinade was AMAZING!

2 T oil
2 T lime juice
1 lb chicken breast, cut into pieces
2 bell peppers
1 large onion
Tortillas
Fajita seasoning mix
Toppings for the Fajitas

Marinate the chicken in the lime juice and seasoning mix for 20 minutes or overnight. Cook chicken in 1 T oil. After that is cooked, use the extra 1 T oil and cook the peppers and onions. 

Enjoy!

Cream of Carrot Soup

Let me first by saying, I have not tried this recipe, but since my husband LOVED it, I will share it. 

HE loved it. He said this recipe made him remember his grandmother's soup. Not a bad compliment if I must say so myself. 

1/4 c butter

2 1/2 c sliced carrots

1 large potato, peeled and cubed

1 c chopped onion

1 stalk celery, chopped

3 c chicken broth

1 tsp ground ginger

1/2 c heavy whipping cream

1 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground pepper

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add carrots, potato, onion, celery, chicken broth and ginger. Cover and cook, stirring occassionally, until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and cool for 15 minutes. 

Transfer soup in batches to a food processor; blend until smooth. Return soup and stir in cream. Add curry powder, salt and black pepper. Cover over low heat until heated thorough, about 10 minutes. 

If the soup is too thick after adding the cream, dilute it with small amounts of water until desired consistency is reached.
