2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

03 -
1 cup sour cream
04 -
1 packet of fajita or taco seasoning
05 -
1 small onion, sliced up

Salsa
10 -
Sour cream
11 -
Guacamole
12 -
Fresh avocado, sliced
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Take your hot dish out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes so it isn’t scorching. Scoop onto plates and top with avocado, guac, salsa, or an extra dollop of sour cream if you want.
02 -
Move your skillet into the oven. Let everything bake 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling on top.
03 -
Sprinkle all the cheddar cheese over the mixture, covering it evenly.
04 -
Now, toss your chicken back in and add the seasoning, cream cheese, and sour cream. Mix until you don’t see any streaks and everything blends together nicely.
05 -
Drop the onions and bell peppers in next, and cook, giving a stir now and then, until they’re as tender as you like.
06 -
Heat up your olive oil in a big oven-safe pan on medium. Toss in the chopped chicken and cook till it’s golden and cooked through. Move the chicken out for now.
07 -
Kick things off by getting your oven hot—set it to 350°F (about 177°C).
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you’re short on time, grab pre-cooked chicken (5-6 cups diced) instead.
02 -
Don’t have a skillet for the oven? Use a greased casserole dish to finish it off.
03 -
Pile this on cauliflower rice, regular rice, or stuff it inside a soft flour tortilla.
