Mexican Skillet Chicken
With my food sensitivity to dairy, I eat my chicken without cheese. I’ve also recently been diagnosed with a slight sensitivity to onions and was told by my doctor to cut back on those as well. It is just as delicious served without cheese or extra onions. So if you are trying to cut back on calories, you can definitely eliminate the cheese in this recipe!
