How to Make Asparagus Chicken Fajitas
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Italian dressing. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts and toss to coat.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.
- Lightly spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through.
- Add 1 lb asparagus spears (trimmed) and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color) to the skillet. Stir and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.

- Serve immediately in 2 large warm tortillas. Garnish with your favorite toppings (optional: salsa, avocado, sour cream, etc.).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
