Chipotle Chicken Fajita Kale Salad

For this recipe you will need:
  • A frying pan with a lid
  • Tongs
  • A cutting board
  • 2 knifes knives (1 chopping, 1 pairing)
Your Shopping List:
*Keep in mind that you can make this recipe around 5 times with all of these ingredients, or use them for other things. I did my grocery shopping at Ralph's this week because of their back to school sale. If you don't know about the back to school sale: Ralph's marks down their prices by a good portion, and allows you to bring in separate coupons plus the coupons you are able to add to your Ralph's card online. I spent $56 on my groceries for the next two weeks, so I would say it's worth the trip to your local Ralph's. These are the prices strait from my receipt! Single items are divided by the number you need.
  1. 1 Bag of Kale $2.36
  2. 1 small bag of rainbow baby bell peppers  $2.49
  3. 1 yellow onion (they were $0.99/lb this week!) $0.37
  4. 1 bag of Kroger Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast $6 (GET THIS COUPON ONLINE, YOU GET AN ENTIRE BAG WITH OVER 10 PORTIONED PIECES) (You will need one breast)
  5. 1 can of chipotle peppers in adobada (La Costena is my preference) $0.50
  6. Pepper, and a pink of salt
Your total will come out to $11.47, for 5 meals. If you mix and match recipes you will see you can use the left over products from this to create a previous recipe. You could potentially have 11 meals with the purchase of lean turkey, 1 Serrano, 1 egg, and 1 zucchini (see previous post)!

I know what you're thinking, this is a very odd combination of foods, but when you taste it, it will be worth it!

So here's what you're going to to:
  1. Heat pan with a tablespoon of olive oil (around half heat)
  2. Defrost your 1 chicken breast, and cut them into strips
  3. Use your chopping knife to slice your onion into wheels, I like to cut two slices then cut each slice in half. You can even cut them half of the half so your strips of onion are longer. 
  4. Place both in frying pan and cover for 3 minutes. 
  5. Add one chipotle pepper, break it up, and pour in juice, then recover
  6. Chop 4 Baby Bell Peppers into Strips
    1. Cut of stem
    2. Core each
    3. Slice into 5-6 strips each
  7. Add to pan, mix, and recover
  8. Add washed Kale, as much as you like! Remember that it shrinks. I personally Add 2 handfuls.
  9. Add pepper to your liking and a pinch of salt.
  10. Re cover
  11. When kale shrinks, mix and uncover so liquid can evaporate. Raise temperature two marks over what you cooked with. 
Here's how I chop my bell peppers: 

Now you have some choices:
  • I personally like to eat it with two tortillas and some avocado
  • You can add it so some romain lettuce, and it serves as its own dressing
    • Add some black beans! 
  • Cook longer, and eat with Corn Chips
The choice is yours!

Thanks for stopping in,
