Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast sliced
  • 2 bell peppers sliced into strips
  • 1 medium onion sliced into “half rings”
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt pepper, garlic powder to taste
  • Oil
  • 1 cup Mexican blend cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°.
  • Spray your casserole dish with cooking spray (I use Pam) and lightly grease with oil.
  • Mix your spices in a small bowl.
  • Place your sliced chicken breast in the casserole dish and drizzle with oil. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
  • Next, sprinkle the fajita spice mixture over the chicken (save a little to sprinkle over the veggies). Stir the strips around to coat with the spices.
  • Top the chicken evenly with the peppers and onion. Sprinkle the remaining spice mixture over the vegetables.
  • Finally, top the dish off with cheese. I love cheese! Honestly, I didn’t measure out my cheese for this casserole. I tend to cook by eyeballing things. I’m trying to get better about measuring things so I can share the recipe, but when I made this I just added cheese until it looked good!
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through.
