Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Toss the sliced chicken with olive oil, fajita seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Top the chicken with sliced bell peppers and onion.
  5. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  6. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the casserole is hot and bubbly.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken can be used to save time.
  • Add jalapeños or cayenne for extra heat.
  • Pepper jack cheese works well for a spicier version.
  • Stir in a splash of milk when reheating if the sauce thickens.
