Quick Notes: This is a fantastic way to feed a large group, or feed your family with some leftovers. This Chicken Fajita Casserole also makes great leftovers on it’s own or wrapped in a tortilla.
Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts
- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion
- 1 1/2 cup long-grain rice
- 1 1/2 cup chicken stock
- grated Mexican cheese (measure with your heart)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F.
- Mix together your seasonings, and roll your chicken through it until it's coated on the outside.
- Put on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, slice all your veggies fajita style. Remove stems and seeds from the peppers and set aside.
- Once the chicken is done, let it cool enough to handle. Slice it into thin slices.
- In a large casserole dish or baking pan, add your rice and stock. Cover it with the chicken and veggies, distributing them evenly. Â
- Go HARD on the cheese. Cover the whole thing in cheesy goodness.
- Cover, and place in your previously heated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. If the rice isn't done, return it to the oven and check again in another ten minutes.Â
- Serve with guac, Easy Pico de Gallo, and sour cream! Also great in a tortilla or with chips. Â
