Hey, foodies! Get ready to blow your taste buds away with this epic Cheesy Baked Fajita Chicken.
It’s like fajitas and nachos had a cheesy, spicy baby. Perfect for dinner or anytime you’re craving something crazy delicious
What You’ll Need
Here’s the squad:
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 packet fajita seasoning mix (or make your own, if you’re feeling fancy!)
- 1 bell pep
- per (red, green, yellow—your choice, thinly sliced)
- 1 medium onion (sliced into half-moons)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (the cheesier, the better)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
How to Make It
- Prep Time, Baby!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats up, grab a baking dish and grease it with olive oil so nothing sticks (because cleaning is the worst).
- Season Like a Boss
Rub the fajita seasoning all over the chicken breasts. Be generous, like you’re seasoning for the whole block.
- Veggie Time
Toss the sliced bell peppers and onions in a bowl with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in the baking dish around the chicken. It’s already looking colorful and awesome!
- Bake It Up
Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Your kitchen is gonna smell AMAZING.
- Say Cheese!
Pull the chicken out and sprinkle a thick layer of shredded cheese on top of everything. Put it back in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (Cue drooling!)
- Finish Like a Pro
Remove from the oven and let it sit for like 5 minutes—if you can wait that long. Top with extra lime juice, fresh cilantro, or sour cream if you’re feeling extra.
How to Serve It
Serve this cheesy masterpiece with rice, tortillas, or just devour it straight out of the dish. It’s a vibe either way!
Quick Pro Tips
- Want it spicier? Add some sliced jalapeños before baking.
- Leftovers (if you have any) make killer fajita wraps the next day.
