2 medium green or red bell peppers or a combination (red, yellow and orange are my go to’s for this)
2 medium onions
2  garlic cloves, peeled
1½ lbs (700 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp (30 mL) Chipotle Rub or Southwest
12 (6-7″/15–18 cm) flour tortillas
1½ cups (6 oz/175 g) shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup (125 mL) sour cream (Optional)
½ cup (125 mL) prepared salsa

Directions

Cut the bell peppers lengthwise into 1/4″ (6 mm) strips and thinly slice the onions lengthwise. Slice the garlic using the Garlic Prep Tool or mince with the peel on with the garlic press. Place the vegetables in a Deep Covered Baker. Combine the chicken and rub in a Classic Batter Bowl and turn the chicken to coat. Place the coated chicken over the vegetables.

Microwave, covered, on HIGH for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C in the thickest part of the chicken and the juices run clear. Scoop the Salad Chopper under the chicken, avoiding the vegetables if possible, and cut the chicken into small pieces. Stir the chicken into the vegetables.

Place the tortillas into a Tortilla Warmer and microwave, covered, on HIGH for about 30 seconds or until warm. To serve the fajitas, spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the centers of the tortillas. Serve immediately with cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
