This delicious Chicken Fajita meal is a great addition to add to your weekly mealtimes, not only is it quick and easy, it can be tweaked so enable you to add your favourite schwartz herb, spice or vegetables.
I love to use Paprika in this recipe as it has subtle earthiness, with a sweet and peppery taste, you can use Smoked paprika if you wish if you want a more chargrilled flavour.
