Description

Discover how to make a mouthwatering Fajita Chicken Casserole with this easy recipe. Perfect for dinner, learn to create a flavorful dish that everyone will love!


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds (680 g) chicken breasts skinless and boneless
  • 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s fajita seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 medium bell peppers cut into strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) s shredded cheese
  • Fresh chopped cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Set your oven to a temperature of 400°F (200°C) to preheat.
  2. In a baking dish, coat the chicken breasts with fajita seasoning and vegetable oil, ensuring the mixture covers them evenly. I find using my hands helps with this.
  3. Layer the chicken with the strips of bell peppers and sliced onion on top. Add a bit more seasoning and then cover with shredded cheese.
  4. Place the casserole in the oven without a lid and cook for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Once done, serve right away, and if you like, add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro as a garnish.

Notes

  • Coat chicken evenly with fajita seasoning and oil by hand for thorough coverage
  • Slice bell peppers and onion into uniform strips for consistent cooking
  • Mix mozzarella and cheddar for a gooey cheese topping with varied texture
