EASY CHICKEN FAJITA MARINADE



Easy Chicken Fajita Marinade image

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.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:
