\"Orange<\/p>\n

For Father\u2019s Day this year, jazz up plain chicken and vegetables with this unique orange-citrus and spicy fajita-inspired marinade. The skewered grilled chicken and colourful vegetables will make Dad\u2019s taste buds sing!<\/p>\n

In our house we love fajitas; they\u2019re so delicious and healthy. But often in the summer months when we crave fajitas, I don\u2019t feel like heating up the kitchen. That\u2019s why I created these Orange Chipotle Chicken Fajita Skewers for the grill and they\u2019ve become popular with our family.<\/p>\n

The chicken and vegetables are tender, juicy and seriously delicious with a hint of orange that balances out the spiciness of the chipotle chili powder. The skewers are vibrant in colour. Since it\u2019s a known fact that eating colourful food helps give you a wide range of nutrients, you can feel good about eating these beautiful colours! Feel free to add more veggies to the skewers if you\u2019re an ultimate veggie lover and want to add even more nutrients!<\/p>\n

Chipotle Chili Powder<\/h2>\n

You can find chipotle chili powder in jars in the spice aisle or loose in a bulk food store. It\u2019s distinctly different from chili powder which you may already have in your pantry. Common chili powder is a seasoning blend that contains crushed chili peppers mixed with garlic powder, oregano, and cumin. Chipotle chili powder has only one ingredient – dried, smoked jalape\u00f1o peppers.<\/p>\n

Chipotle chili powder goes a long way so 1 teaspoon may be plenty for your family\u2019s taste buds. But if Dad likes things really spicy then go for 2 teaspoons!\u00a0Even if your family doesn\u2019t like things spicy, try adding just a scant \u00bd teaspoon of chipotle chili powder. That should be enough to give the skewers a little hint of spice while still imparting that distinct chipotle smoky flavour that stands out in this recipe.<\/p>\n
