Steps:
- Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Tear off four 12-by-18-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil and set aside.
- Toss the chicken with the onion and bell peppers in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the fajita seasoning, oil, adobo sauce, cumin and lime juice in a separate small bowl. Pour over the chicken mixture and toss gently with tongs to coat evenly.
- Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the 4 sheets of foil. Bring up two short sides to meet and fold over a few times to close tightly, then fold the remaining sides in and up to seal the packet completely. Repeat with the remaining foil packets.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the packets on in a single layer and return to the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have softened slightly, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and microwaving until warm, about 40 seconds. Serve the fajitas with the tortillas, rice and toppings of your choice.
CHICKEN PUTTANESCA
This lovely, gutsy sauce goes wonderful with chicken that has been sauteed first, then gently simmered in the sauce to absorb all the flavours. No need to miss out on the pasta either, as green tagliatelle is the perfect accompaniment! Recipe courtesy of The Delia Collection: Chicken. We love this!

Steps:
- Begin by heating the oil in the frying pan until it's very hot.
- Wipe the chicken breasts with paper towel, then season them with salt and pepper.
- Saute them in the hot oil over a medium heat until they are a rich golden colour n both sides.
- This will take 5 or 6 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and add the garlic and chilli to the pan and fry these briefly for about 30 seconds.
- After that, add the tomatoes, tomato puree, olives, capers, chopped basil and some seasoning.
- Stir everything well, bringing it up to a gentle simmer, then return the chicken breasts to the pan, skin side up, pushing them well down into the sauce and basting a little over the top.
- Simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, uncovered, until the chicken has cooked and the sauce has reduced and thickened.
- About 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time, put a large pan of salted water on to heat and bring it up to the boil.
- Then boil the tagliatelle according to the package directions.
- After that, quickly drain and serve with the chicken, sauce spooned over, tagliatelle on the side.
- Garnish with the fresh sprigs of basil and enjoy!
