This one pan dinner recipe is super simple to make with just chicken breasts, cream cheese, salsa, fajita seasoning, bell peppers and shredded cheese. Layer everything into a baking dish, and that's it! It's healthy, low carb, budget-friendly and family pleasing.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 thinly sliced chicken breasts ((about 2lbs))
  • 8oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup salsa
  • 1/2 (1oz) packet of fajita seasoning
  • 2 large bell peppers ((sliced))
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheese ((Mexican blend or cheddar))

Directions

  1. 1

    *Read notes below before getting started.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken onto the bottom of the pan.

  4. 4

    In a medium size bowl, mix together the cream cheese, salsa and fajita seasoning.

  5. 5

    Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken and then top with your sliced bell peppers and shredded cheese. *Note (If you are cooking large, thick chicken breasts, I recommend adding the cheese half way through cooking so that it doesn't burn).

  6. 6

    Bake uncovered in the center rack for 20-45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (depending on the size & thickness of your chicken).

  7. 7

    Serve alone or with Spanish rice, cauliflower rice or in a tortilla.
