CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI MEXICAN SKILLET



Chicken and Zucchini Mexican Skillet image

Necessity is the mother of invention, and I happen to have all these on hand. If you want to switch other peppers or veggies, it is up to you! If you happen to have Tajin seasoning, I think it's perfect for this, b/c it has a hint of lime with the salt and chili.
