Fajita Chicken Pouches + Fajita Tofu Pouches, 3/19/2013




If you're in a hurry, this dish is an excellent option. There are only four ingredients and less than ten minutes of prep work. And the foil means the only dishes to wash are the knife, cutting board, and forks!

Ingredients:
-- one chicken breast
-- one block of extra firm tofu
-- two 12 oz pkgs of baby carrots and snap peas (fresh or frozen)
-- fajita seasoning
Instructions:
Cut chicken breast into pieces; cut tofu into strips. Generously sprinkle (only one side) with fajita seasoning.

Tear off two large sheets of heavy duty foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place carrots and peas in the center of eat sheet. Generously sprinkle with salt.

Place the chicken and tofu in a single layer atop the vegetables.

Fold the foil over/around to make a pouch, leaving a hole at the top to let steam escape. Transfer pouches to a cookie sheet.

Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 45 minutes. Being careful of the steam, pull back the foil to let cool. Transfer pouches to dinner plates. Chow down.
