FESTIVE CHICKEN FAJITAS


My husband and I met while attending Virginia Tech.  Being poor college students at the time, most of our dates involved free admission venues and one of them happened to be VT football games.  We would jokingly complain we were always given student tickets in the nose-bleed section of the bleachers.  But, times have changed.   Tech football  is a powerhouse now and the seats we complained about back then sell for an unmentionable amount of money since the stadium today dwarfs itself from its once humble beginnings. 

So with the advent of big screen TV's and not wanting to pay the big $$$,  we have begun a tradition with other Virginia Tech friends of gathering together for the games in the comfort of our family rooms.  We have a great time playing armchair quarterbacks, rooting for our team and enjoying a great meal at halftime.    The recipe below is one of the favorites that I have made that is perfect for a holiday season casual get together.  It is a one-stop crowd pleaser - meat, vegetables and carbs all rolled into one festively colorful and deliciously tangy meal.   

                                                            INGREDIENTS

                                                    6 Peppers - 3 Red, 3 Green
                                                             6 Sweet Onions

                                        1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. Light Sodium Soy Sauce

*I used to buy Vidalia Onion Vinagrette Dressing in a twin-pak from Costco.  I have not been able to find it any longer at my local Costco.  If you cannot find it at yours, I have included an Amazon link that I purchase it from now.  Please click below...
