Fajitas:
1/2 head of lettuce - shredded
1 medium sized tomato - diced
1 bag of fat free tortilla shells
1 small container of fat free sour cream
1 small bag of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 bag of frozen pepper stir fry (contains onions and peppers - cheaper than buying fresh peppers)
1 packet of taco seasoning - low sodium
1lb chicken breasts - cut into thin strips
Spray a little pam into a large skillet pan. Put over medium-high heat, and add the chicken - cook until chicken is white. Add the bag of stir fry peppers and onions. Cook until everything is done and then prepare the packet of taco seasoning (usually mix the taco seasoning with 3/4 cup of water) and cook on high for about 5-10 minutes - until most of the liquid evaporates. Shred the lettuce and dice the tomatoes and warm the tortilla shells in the microwave for 20 seconds. Put all ingredients inside of the tortilla shell, wrap up and enjoy.

Rachael Ray's Chicken Fajita Tortilla Soup is awesome. Just search it on google and I promise you'll find it.
I altered one of her other recipes from her cookbook and came out with this:
Sweet Baked Chicken With Spicy Tomato Chutney.
1, Cover your chicken breasts with finely chopped parsley, cilantro, scallions, salt, and pepper. Then give them a light coat of brown sugar. (Maybe a tablespoon on each breast)
2. Throw them in the oven on 350 for 15-20 minutes. I always pound out my chicken so it cooks faster.
3. Take 6 plum tomatoes. (This is assuming your making 4 chicken breasts) Cut them into big chunks. Drizzle a sauce pan over medium heat with some olive oil. Chop up 2 garlic cloves, seed half of a jalapeno, then chop up the whole thing. (So half the seeds and ribs are going in, Spicy, I know!) and some red onion or a shallot. Throw them in there when the pans hot. Careful - you don't want to burn your garlic. Wait a minute, then add your tomatoes. Throw in some cumin, coriander, salt, pepper. This is all to taste,
4. Now it's time to add liquids. This is ALL up to you. Add about one turn of the pan of something salty. A dark vinegar, maybe sherry, soy sauce, red wine vinegar. Whatever you have in your pantry. Then add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar. Next, about 1 cup of water.
5. Bring up to a boil, then let simmer until your liquid is gone and you have a spicy tomato chutney.
Your chicken breasts should be done, make sure you get all the brown sugar drippings in your baking dish all over the chicken, then top it with your chutney.
