Easy flavor works for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did change the recipe in one notable way: it called for pork tenderloin as the meat but that seemed like an expensive and fancy cut for something that was ultimately going to be smothered in Italian dressing. So, I just went with chicken, making it even more like a fajita. I also left off mushrooms, and added a little more vegetables.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it wasn\u2019t the most exciting of dinners, it did the job. It fed us, it was healthy enough, and it was quick and easy to pull together.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"891\" src=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201213_165416-1024x891.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-887\" srcset=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201213_165416-1024x891.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201213_165416-300x261.jpg 300w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201213_165416-768x668.jpg 768w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/20201213_165416.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Simple and scrumptious.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what I did:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 lb. chicken breast, cut into \u00be in. cubes<\/li><li>\u00bd c.
