Another thing that I really love about the Hungry Girl cookbooks is that many, if not most, of the recipes are for single servings. It's nearly impossible to find recipes for just one person, and that makes cooking for one really difficult. So I am very glad to have all of these single serving recipes! And that also makes it easy to double, triple, or quadruple the recipe depending on how many people you are cooking for.
Chicken Fajita Lettuce Cups
Ingredients:
3 leaves romaine, butter, or green leaf lettuce
3 ounces raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, sliced
1/2 c. sliced red and green bell peppers
1/2 c. sliced onions
2 Tbsp. Holy Moly Guacamole
1 Tbsp. salsa
1 Tbsp. fat-free sour cream
1 & 1/2 tsp. dry fajita seasoning mix
Directions:
- Place chicken, peppers, and onions in a medium bowl. In a separate dish, blend fajita seasoning mix with 3 Tbsp. water.
- Pour seasoning mixture over chicken and veggies. Stir until chicken and veggies are thoroughly coated. Let marinate for 5 minutes.
- Spray a medium pan with nonstick spray and bring to medium-high heat. Pour chicken-veggie mixture--including any excess marinade--into the pan.
- Stirring occasionally, saute until chicken is cooked through and veggies are slightly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
- Enjoy fajita-style, by loading up each lettuce "cup" with one-third of the chicken-veggie mixture and topping with the guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Yum!

Although it might seem like these three lettuce cups wouldn't fill you up, there is so much stuff inside them that it really does! They are definitely messy, so don't even try wiping your face or hands until you're done eating. This recipe is mouthwatering goodness and I can't believe it's less than 200 calories!
Hope you enjoy!
