Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Fajita Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Coat the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle fajita seasoning over it, mixing well to ensure even coverage.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced bell peppers and onions for 5-6 minutes until softened.
- Combine cream cheese, sour cream, chicken stock, instant rice, one cup of cheese, cooked chicken, and sautéed vegetables in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, and mix until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spread evenly, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
