This Chicken Fajita Casserole is perfect for a simple family dinner! In less than an hour, this dish is ready to be devoured! Gather all the ingredients and start prepping. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
4 oz. of cream cheese, softened
1 recipe of Taco Seasoning Mix or our Fajita Seasoning
1 small onion, sliced
1 c sour cream
Optional: garnish with avocado or guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. For spicy lovers add heat with hot sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
2 c cheddar cheese, grated
6 (4 to 6 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or breasts, cut into 1-inch to 2-inch pieces
4 bell peppers, sliced (vary the colors to make it pretty!)
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Place an oven-safe skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the chicken into the hot skillet, then cook for a few minutes or until they turn golden brown. Move them to a clean plate.
In the same skillet, add peppers and onions. Sauté for a few minutes just until soft.
Put the chicken back into the skillet. Add the sour cream, cream cheese, and taco seasoning as well. Stir everything until well incorporated.
Remove the skillet from the heat, then scatter the cheese over the chicken mixture covering it entirely.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake the Chicken Fajita Casserole for about 20 minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown. Remove from the oven.
Top each serving with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or avocado.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Feel free to use about 5 cups of pre-cooked chicken for this recipe if you like.
You can use a greased casserole dish instead of an oven-safe skillet if you prefer.
