Description
A flavorful and cheesy one-dish meal packed with seasoned chicken, sweet bell peppers, and a creamy salsa base. Perfect for busy weeknights or low-carb dinners.
Ingredients
2 pounds chicken breasts (about 4 medium breasts)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup salsa
1/2 packet fajita seasoning (or more to taste)
2 large bell peppers, sliced (any color)
1–2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Flatten or halve chicken breasts if thick, and place in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, salsa, and fajita seasoning until combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chicken.
Top evenly with sliced bell peppers.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
Optionally broil uncovered for the last 2–3 minutes for bubbly golden cheese.
Serve as-is or over rice, cauliflower rice, or tortillas.
