[QUOTE="Travace, post: 22705, member: 111"] Ok here is my first entry to the TW IRON CHEF.... [size=10][center]Mushroom Chicken Fajita[/center][/size][center][/center] Ingredients [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3586/3453830592_f6b648bb9b_o.jpg[/img] 3 bell peppers (i like to use 3 different colors but sometimes the color ones are more expensive. it is ok to use 1 color pepper) 1/2 Large White Onion(my family dont dig em so much so if you like add the whole onion.) 2 Boneless and Skinless Chicken Breasts 8 oz of white Mushrooms Some Oil Salt & pepper Monterrey jack Cheese Spices....Black Pepper, Chilli Pepper, Oregano, Cumin and Garlic Powder,(you can mess around with the ratios i never weigh anything out i just go with it. The other option is just to buy one of the Lawyres Fajita Package. I have used them and they are a good mix of spices) 1/3 cup Vegetable Broth 1/4 cup Butter Sour Cream Salsa First thing is to wash your hands. Once you got that wash your 3 Bell peppers Then chop them and clean out all the seeds. Now there is 3 ways i like to chop my bell peppers. First is to take 1/3 of each pepper and slice them long ways but keep the slices thick. The second way is to slice the next 1/3 long ways but thinly. the last of the pepper is gonna be diced into little chunks. For tonight's demonstration i have added all 3 chop styles to a medium sized bowl. Then i chop the Onion long ways then each arch one time in half and add to the bowl [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3637/3453830664_a5f186e587_o.jpg[/img] next poor enough Oil into a pan just enough to coat the bottom or maybe a little splash extra and put it to medium heat and let it start warming up. Now take your Chicken and put it in a different pan with a splash of Oil in it and set to medium heat and cover. You are gonna watch it. Flip after 5 mins and just keep an eye on the heat you don't want it to cook to fast. We don't really want a browned outside.. In the end it will brown a little but not completely [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3390/3453830728_43437c5785_o.jpg[/img] [center][size=10][color=red]STOP!!!!!![/color][/size][/center][size=10][color=red][/color][/size][color=red][/color] This part is Important!!!!!! you need to wash your hands and any utensil you plan on still using if raw chicken touched it. So wash up [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/3453016879_b7bc4680d3_o.jpg[/img] ok now we can continue. take the bowl of peppers and onions and put them into the pan with the oil that should be heated pretty nicely now. We start the Saute of all that good stuff now so put the heat to low. [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3453016947_cf9eb693d5_o.jpg[/img] At the same time start chopping up your Mushrooms. I like to make slices. you could dice them but its not needed unless you prefer it. put in a pan with the butter and set heat to low.

[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3332/3453016983_15cebb7afd_o.jpg[/img] Good time to flip the chicken and make sure you stir your peppers and onions as well [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3580/3453017027_8a4768e639_o.jpg[/img] Contender Chef Travace is so fast at flipping mushrooms in the air you almost cant even see him do it!!!! [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3453830920_c731bee3c4_o.jpg[/img] Ok once your peppers are nice and soft they need to be romoved from the heat. With the triple chop it is nice cause you get 3 textures of crunch out of your peppers. almost mushy, soft and a little crunchy. Of course you can always cook them to your own liking as well. Even grilling them before chopping up would be a great thing. [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3587/3453017113_d2867d9e8f_o.jpg[/img] Also remember DO NOT rinse out the pan that was used for the peppers. Put it to the side we will use it later. Now is a great time to start heating up your Fajita Plate. put it on the stove and turn the heat up as high as it goes. We want this bad boy to get REALLY HOT. [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3309/3453017155_ec2724b79d_o.jpg[/img] Pretty soon your chicken should be ready. When its cooked all the way(white all the way through and NO pink) start to cut it up. You can do chunks but i like slices in my Fajita so i slice. [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3412/3453017189_3373169123_o.jpg[/img] Take all the slices and put them into the pan that had all the peppers in it.
