EASY CHICKEN FAJITA MARINADE
This is a simple fajita marinade that has been bounced around in my family for at least 15 years. It's simple, tasty, easily altered for a twist on the taste, and can be easily prepared in under 15 minutes. Serve with other fajita elements and enjoy! Some ideas: sauteed green bell pepper with white or yellow onions, jalapeno slaw, homemade salsa (tomato or mango), etc.

Tips:
- Use a variety of spices and herbs in your marinade. This will give your chicken a more complex flavor.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
- If you are using a citrus-based marinade, add the citrus juice at the end of the marinating process to prevent the chicken from becoming tough.
- When cooking the chicken, be sure to preheat your oven or grill to the proper temperature.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
