Ingredients you need for the Fajita Chicken Breasts Casserole

3 or 4 small chicken breasts (1 1/2 lbs – 750g) skinless, boneless – or 2 large chicken breasts, split lengthwise 2 bell peppers, red and green, seeded and cut into strips 1 medium onion, minced 1 teaspoon cumin powder 1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or minced garlic 2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 cup shredded Mozzarella (or your favorite cheese, Pepperjack, Monterrey Jack, Cheddar…) Fresh chopped cilantro, or parsley, for garnish

Directions

How to make the fajita chicken casserole:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

2. Place chicken breasts on a shallow plate. Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides. Keep some of the spices for sprinkling over the vegetable.

3. Arrange chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish, and drizzle with oil. Top chicken breasts with bell peppers and onion, then sprinkle some of the remaining fajita seasonings. Finish the casserole with shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

4. Bake the fajita chicken casserole for 20 – 30 minutes (if you split the chicken breasts lengthwise, or depending on the thickness); until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can broil your fajita chicken casserole for 2 minutes at the end to crisp up the top if you like. Serve the fajita chicken casserole immediately over cauliflower rice, steamed vegetable, zucchini noodles, or as is… enjoy!

What are the best ways of cooking chicken breasts?

Baking: This is one of the easiest and most hands-off ways of cooking chicken breasts. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200ºC), season the chicken, place it on a baking sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74ºC). Baking chicken breasts is an easy way to cook the chicken evenly and ensures it stays juicy. Throw vegetables like quartered potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers on the baking sheet to make a full sheet-pan dinner!

Pan-Searing: This is an excellent way to cook chicken breast and achieve a crispy, browned outside and a tender, juicy inside. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat, season the chicken breast, and cook until golden brown on both sides. It should take about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. If you’re in a hurry or your chicken breasts are quite thick, slice them horizontally to make thinner cutlets.

Sous-Vide: This is a top-notch technique for cooking chicken breasts, although not very common. Place the chicken in a vacuum-sealed bag and submerge in a pot of water. The water should be kept around 140-145°F for 1.5-2.5 hours. This method produces an incredibly juicy and tender chicken breast.

Grilling: Grilling chicken breasts over medium-high heat is a great way to achieve lightly charred and juicy chicken breasts. Make sure to season the chicken and brush it with a bit of oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill and drying out. This should take about 8-10 minutes per side.
