How to make a video featuring award-winning chef Emeril Lagasse’s cooking line at JCPenney when you’re not Emeril Lagasse? I tried practicing my “BAM!”, but seeing I wasn’t quite as convincing I’ve resorted to making a musical cooking video .

CHICKEN FAJITA RECIPE DETAILS: Prep: 20 min. + marinating Cook: 5 min. Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients
4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1/2 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
1 chopped onion
6 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
Shredded cheddar cheese, taco sauce, salsa, guacamole and sour cream (if desired)

DIRECTIONS
1) In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice and seasonings; add the chicken. Seal and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
2) In a large skillet, saute peppers and onions in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Remove and keep warm.
