  I love to find meals that take little to no time to prepare. (I keep sliced peppers and onions frozen for quick use) Tasted great. I recommend drying the chicken so there is not a lot of liquid in the bottom. Delicious.

  Thank you for a simple and delicious recipe. I only had fresh mozza, so I chopped it up. It worked, but will use the other next time. I had to round it out with some queso fresco to have enough. I sauteed my peppers and onions briefly before adding to the casserole dish. Served over jasmine rice. Looking forward to making it again with a lovely chunk of shredded mozzarella. Will be a repeat. Thanks again.

  This chicken fajita recipe is fantastic! Easy to prepare and so delish! I used minced red onion and waited until the end to add the cheese. Definitely will make this again.

  This was fantastic! My hubby and I will be having this once a week, it is that good! I used shredded chicken and added rice, but kept everything else the same and the flavor is amazing. Loved it!

  Omg this was so easy, delicious and packed full of flavor! I cheated though and used the fajita powder at the store! My husband was even amazed! I will definitely make it again!

  So grateful you share recipes that don’t start with other parts already needing done (ie cooked or rotisserie chicken). I get stuck on the ‘how’ for those before ever getting to the supposed ‘good part.’ I personally need to know what to do from the ground up. Thank you so much for sharing actually do-able recipes, that even my picky-butts eat, AND that also don’t require a day of dish-washing to follow!! It makes my kitchen SO much more approachable and I can’t tell you how much that impacts my days!THANK YOU!

  The spice blend was spot on for us. I used a variety of cheeses that we had on hand. Instead of adding oil to the casserole, I deglazed the browned chicken pan and added that. Served with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream on the side. We don't feel deprived on induction. Thank you for a great recipe!

  Very easy. Delicious. I sautéed the onions and peppers in cumin and chili seasoning before cooking

  Loved this. Very easy. I did sauté the peppers and onions in cumin and chili seasoning before layering on chicken. It was a hit.

  The recipe is very good but the web site is annoying. You have to scroll through far too many photos to get to the ingredients/directions.

  Super easy to make and it turned out great! I didn't measure the spices out exactly and I used medium cheddar instead of mozzarella and it was delicious! Something I will definitely make again. My family loved it too!

  This recipe is so delicious! I make it quite often, as it's so quick to put together, and I end up getting 3 or 4 meals out of it for myself. I usually use the pre-packaged fajita or taco seasoning for it, and whatever shredded cheese I've got on hand. I put the seasoning in a baggie, and toss each peace of chicken in it to make sure they're coated thoroughly. Whatever seasoning is left, I shake it over the peppers and onions, then add the cheese on top, and bake to yummy perfection. Makes for delicious soft tacos

  Absolutely loved this recipe. I did sauté the onions and bell pepper prior to placing on the chicken. This recipe is now a favorite of my husbands. I served it with white rice, and it was perfect. The seasoning was very good on the chicken. I used pepper jack cheese because I didn’t have mozzarella, and it was delicious. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!

• karen

  Not only is this delicious but fairly quick & easy too! I used a lot of the seasonings, then drizzled with taco sauce ... i tossed LOTS of peppers & onions with oil & a bit of the same seasonings, sprinkled with taco cheese & baked. The leftovers were just as good the next day, maybe even better!

  I am making this tonight, but it seems your carb amount is quite high. That is the reason I ran the recipe through my nutrition counter and got 8 carbs. I am on keto and I believe this is a great keto recipe. I will find out tonight when I check my blood glucose level. Thank you so much for recipe

  I was looking for a new way to make chicken. I made this up and even the family loved it. It will definitely be a recipe I will use again.

• Jessica

  There is alot of juice in the pan. Is that normal? I went crazy on with the onions and bell peppers, so maybe that's why

• Craig

  Loved it, must say this recipe is ripe to adjust. I cooked the chicken ahead of time, then shredded it. I also added a couple spicy sausages that I grilled and cut up. I picked up small flour tortillas and we had tacos / fajitas with the chicken. Added sour cream and salsa. These minor tweaks were outstanding and only way I will make in future. My wife and son loved it.

  I fixed the fajita chicken casserole for dinner and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this dish to other family and friends.

  Made this for dinner last night! Was so good! Only think I added was a can of fire roasted red tomatoes and some chopped green chilis! We had with Spanish rice. Already added to our rotation :)

  I made this dish today for my friend and I for dinner. It was amazing! So easy to make, the flavors and chicken tested perfect. I made mine in a cast iron skillet and cooked it for about 40 mins. Thank you for sharing this recipe, we loved it!

• Mary

  Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. Used red and orange peppers, and no salt or pepper because my husband is on a low salt diet. Will be making this again for sure.

  SO MUCH FLAVOR that you forget it’s actually healthy and good for you. I had 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts that I cut in half (long ways). I did sprinkle a store packet of fajita seasoning on top of the peppers, onions and chicken. I used EVOO instead of Veg oil. I also drizzled with lime juice before adding the cheese. I used a little extra cheese and used a little cheddar in addition to Mozzarella. After baking, 30 mins, I garnished with a lot of chopped cilantro. Amazing!!! Fast, cheap and so so easy!! Moist, juicy, perfect!

  This is awesome!!! We changed up some things, though. We usually almost always double our recipes so we'll have leftovers...We use 4 large chicken breasts instead of 4 small ones. We use a large rectangular casserole dish. We use 4-6 peppers, usually red or a mix of red, yellow, and orange (don't care for the green). We use 4 large onions. We cook the onions down quite a bit because we don't like crisp/raw onions. We also cook the peppers down a little bit. We use salt, pepper, and a hint of oregano when cooking them down (pan-fry on stove top). We double the seasonings. Instead of regular chili powder, we use dark chili powder. Instead of regular paprika, we use smoked chipotle paprika. Instead of mozzarella cheese, we use sharp white cheddar, and we use 12 ounces of it shredded. Instead of vegetable oil, we use olive oil. Instead of use fresh chopped cilantro and parsley for garnish, we either don't use them at all, or I'll add a smidgeon of each to the seasonings mixture. Lastly, we have to leave it baking in the oven longer since we've doubled the chicken and added more of the other ingredients. We love it. It's SO easy. One time, I didn't feel like fussing with all of the "steps," so I threw the seasoned chicken in a crock pot with 6 small onions (whole) and the sliced peppers. After several hours, it was good to go. We pulled the chicken apart and made our own fajitas with soft tortillas that we warmed up quickly on the stovetop. We had lettuce, tomato, cheese, salsa, sour cream, El Paso taco sauce, and added sides of black beans and Spanish Yellow Saffron rice...Amazing!!! Better than tex-mex/Mexican restaurants we've visited.

  The secret to this recipe is to cook the chicken first, shred it and mix it with the other ingredients, bake for fewer minutes (30) at 375. Very tasty!

• Beth W

  I want to make this but I would like to know whether I can assemble the casserole the night before and have hubby put it in the oven the following evening, or wouldn't this be a good idea with the raw chicken? Thanks!

• Janie

  My husband really liked this. I thought it needed something, like a sauce, but don’t know what to do to make it less dry.

• Julie

  Nice easy recipe but it takes longer to cook than 30 minutes. I also precooked my onions and peppers together so they would be soft. I used cubed chicken instead of full chicken breasts. After 30 min the chicken in the middle was not done. Gave it another 15 minutes. Would be good with cojita cheese also.

• Mary Ann

  Be prepared to cook this for around an hour. After 30 minutes cooking time, we took it out of the oven and the chicken was still completely raw. We split two chicken breasts in half. We even put a oven thermometer in the oven thinking our oven was on the fritz, but it was at 400 degrees. We covered with foil during the second half hour of cooking so the cheese wouldn’t get further burned. After an hour of cooking the chicken was cooked, but the cheese cooked down quite a bit. Otherwise the recipe is really tasty!

  I am constantly looking for easy and healthy recipes since I cook for my elderly parents weekly. I found this recipe and since my dad loves fajitas, I decided to try it. I boiled the chicken, so that it would be soft for them to eat and I didn't put the chili powder or pepper, because they don't like spicy. I added 1/2 can crushed tomatoes on top of the chicken and went light on the cheese. They loved it! I've made it for my kids and they love it as well, this is a new family favorite. I think I've made it 4 times in the past two weeks for my parents and us!

  I made this recipe and it came out so delicious! I used boneless breast and split them in half, I served it with a side of cauliflower rice. It would be part of my menu from now on!
