Day 1 - Chicken Fajitas for phase 2

I'm a mexican and fast food junkie so you can imagine how excited I was when I ran across a recipe for HCG phase 2 salsa.  After playing with the recipe a bit last night, I was satisfied with my creation so I left the flavors to marry all day in anticipation of what I would make with it today.

Salsa Recipe (makes 2 servings):
2 tomatoes
3 tbsp no-sugar added lime juice (or 1/2 lime)
1/4 onion chopped up
1 fresh jalapeno chopped up
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 cup cillantro chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

After looking in my fridge with that "what to make" conundrum, I noticed the lonely chicken breast sitting on the shelf along with the green leaf lettuce I picked up at farmers market last night.  Perfect!

Fajita Chicken (makes 1 serving)
3.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast (trimmed of all fat)
Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning to taste
Sugar Free Fajita seasoning (I used Kroger) to taste

After seasoning the chicken to my taste preference, I put it in some Reynolds non-stick aluminum foil and sealed it into a pouch to keep the moisture in.  I had my trusty and beloved George Foreman heating up so I just put it on there and went to preparing the lettuce leaves.  I took 4 lettuce leaves from my new head of green leaf lettuce, washed, and dried them...that's all!   The chicken was smelling great by the time I was done with the lettuce so once it was done, I sliced it and divided the slices between the lettuce leaves and garnished it with a tablespoon of the fresh salsa I made last night. 

This made a delicious meal that I would definitely eat even if I wasn't on the HCG diet.  Delicious and filling!
