Spicy Lemon-Lime Chicken Fajita Filling

Really good chicken fajita filling. Adapted from a fajita recipe that used tequila where I use teriyaki. I feel better using this 'cause I know what spices go into it, therefore no MSG like some of the packaged fajita spice mixes. (For the record, since a lot of the liquid is drained from the chicken after it marinates, I've used only half portions of the marinade juices to calculate calories. Basically, you're covered.) :) Original recipe used generic measurements, but I weighed my ingredients this time, and used those to calculate calories. I've included my gram weights below if you find them of use! :) [Created 2007-12-19.]
