Whenever I cook this dish, the fam goes absolutely wild!

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and toss your chicken slices with olive oil, fajita seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Make sure every piece is well-coated with that flavorful goodness.

2. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly at the bottom of a baking dish. Layer your sliced peppers and onions right on top.

3. Now for the cheesy magic: sprinkle both types of cheese over the chicken and veggies—don’t be shy here, you want every bite to be ooey-gooey.

4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and let it bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to get those irresistible golden-brown spots.

5. Allow the bake to rest for a few precious minutes after taking it out of the oven – it’s going to be tough, I know, but it’s worth it.

– Vegetarians in the house? No problem! Swap out the chicken for black beans or even some chunky portobello mushrooms.
– If you’re a meal-prep maven, chop those veggies and chicken ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a super quick assembly come dinnertime.
– Love a crispy top? Broil the bake for the last couple of minutes, just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
– And here’s a personal favorite tip: mix a little lime zest into your shredded cheese for an extra pop of zestiness in your bake.

Whether you’re feeding the gang or just looking for a scrumptious way to spice up your weeknight dinner routine, this Cheesy Chicken Fajita Bake is sure to win over hearts and bellies. Now go get that apron on and start your oven—it’s bake time!
