Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Fajitas

• Description
  • Russ and I are huge fans of fajitas and this is an easy way to prep our favorite dish without having to fire up the grill. Our favorite fajitas were Chili's Mushroom-Jack Chicken, which had mushrooms, bacon and jack cheese melted over them. So this recipe is similar to those.

• Ingredients
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 package (1 oz) Fajita seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Flour tortillas (6 inch)
  • Sour Cream
  • Salsa
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (Optional)

• Directions
  • Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cut onion and bell pepper into even slices; place in baking dish. Cut chicken breasts into thin strips; add to vegetables in dish. Sprinkle with seasoning mix; drizzle with oil. Stir until combined and pieces are coated. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Spoon small amount of chicken and veggies onto each tortilla. Top each with sour cream, salsa and cilantro, or your favorite fajita toppings.

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Mexican Corn Bread

• Description
  • This has been a favorite of our family for years, and we served it over the weekend at a Mexican-Themed party... and, as always, everyone raved about it! This is a VERY moist and sweet cornbread, so don't let the thought of "Ick... dry cornbread" turn you off from trying this one!

• Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Directions
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in cream corn, chiles, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean.
