Chicken Fajita Casserole

This recipe is really similar to my Clean Chicken Fajita recipe BUT it's super easy to make ahead of time and just pop in the oven.

Chicken Fajita Casserole, Serves 4

  • 2 chicken breasts cut into 1-inch thick strips 
  • ½ sweet onion, sliced 
  • 1 green pepper, sliced 
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
  • 1 cup salsa 
  • Fajita Seasoning (I really wing it! Make sure you taste and test) 
    • 1 tbsp. chili powder 
    • 1 ½ tbsp. Adobo seasoning 
    • ½ tsp. paprika 
    • 1 tsp. dried minced garlic  
    • ½ tsp. cayenne pepper 
    • 1 tbsp. cornstarch 
    • ¼ cup water 
  • Serving suggestions: Tortillas (yellow container), Plain low fat Greek yogurt (in lieu of sour cream- blue container) Avocado Slices (blue container)
           Preheat oven to 350. Place sliced vegetables in bottom of 9X9 casserole dish and top with chicken. In a small bowl, mix together spices, cornstarch and water to make fajita seasoning, being sure to test along the way. Pour “sauce” over chicken evenly and then pour the salsa over the chicken evenly. Sprinkle cheese over top and bake for about 40 minutes, until cooked all the way through. Serve on tortillas with sour cream or avocados.
