We all know those nights. The kids are hangry, you’re exhausted, and the thought of cooking anything feels monumental. But what if dinner could be both easy and a little something extra?

Dina from Simply Home Cooked gets it. Her recipe for Easy Chicken Fajitas is a lifesaver—just six ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes! It’s the kind of weeknight dinner that feels like a win, even on the toughest days.

But here's where the Rogue Chef magic comes in. Think about it: you’re already chopping veggies, searing chicken, and cleaning up. Why not just double the recipe? Cook once for eight, package it up, and deliver it to another mom across town who needs a break tonight. Seriously, $20-$50 for an hour of work you were *already* doing?

The Recipe: Simple & Speedy Chicken Fajitas

Here's the breakdown from Dina's video – perfect for printing and popping into your recipe binder!

Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 package fajita mix
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 cup corn

Instructions:

  1. Slice chicken breast into small strips and mix with fajita seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook chicken until completely cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Slice onion and cook in the same skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  5. Slice green and red bell peppers and add to the skillet along with the corn. Cook until peppers are tender.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
  7. Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Double the Deliciousness (and Your Income!)

Okay, so you’ve made a double batch. Now what? Here's how to turn that extra effort into a little extra income:

  • Packaging: Divide the fajita mixture into family-sized portions (4 servings per container).
  • Extras: Include a container of sour cream or guacamole (optional, but a nice touch!). A small container of shredded lettuce or pico de gallo would also be appreciated.
  • Delivery: Use CrownRunner to connect with a nearby mom who's looking for a hot, home-cooked meal.
  • Price: List your fajitas for $20-$50, depending on your area and ingredients.

Think about it: You're not just selling dinner; you're selling convenience, peace of mind, and a little bit of kindness to another mom who just needs a hand. That’s a powerful combination!

Dina's recipe is a reminder that cooking from scratch doesn't have to be a chore. It can be a way to connect with your community, share your skills, and earn a little extra—all while feeding your own family delicious, home-cooked meals.
