Proof of our healthy eating

Nic and I both have some delicious recipes to share with y'all for our photo proof this week. Stuffed Bell Peppers or Chicken Fajitas.
We'll post the recipe for Chicken Fajitas and the Peppers sometime this week:
Fajitas:

1.5 pounds to 2 pounds of chicken (just get frozen breasts, thaw them over night, and then slice them into fajita sized pieces. In the morning, marinate the strips in 1/4 cup of lime juice ( we like to do 1/2 cup) and 1/2 cup of soy sauce. Add two tbsp. of oil and 1 tbsp. of chili powder as well. You can change and adjust how much of the marinade you want to add.
Marinate for as long as you want ;) We did for about 8-10 hours while at work.

Heat a pan/skillet at high with oil in it. Throw the chicken in and brown it for a few minutes, while chicken is browning, throw 2 pre sliced bell peppers and one medium onion into the bag of marinade. Once chicken is browned, cook onions and peppers, and then add the chicken back in when the peppers are soft.
Cook till hot and ready (peppers and onions should be soft and fajita looking ;) )

Serve on wheat tortilla, with a little low fat cheese and salsa/avocado and you are loving life.
(This is also cleanse friendly, hardly any carbs... so during cleanse week, it's a champ of a meal)
