Ingredients:

For the Chicken Fajita Mixture:

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (assorted colors), thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked cauliflower rice (optional, for a low-carb version)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Chicken Fajita Mixture:
    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, sliced onions, sliced bell peppers, and minced garlic.
    • Sprinkle fajita seasoning over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through, and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
  3. Make Creamy Sauce:
    • In a separate saucepan, combine heavy cream, chicken broth, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Combine Chicken Mixture and Sauce:
    • Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken fajita mixture. Stir to combine, ensuring that everything is well coated.
  5. Assemble Casserole:
    • Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. If you’re using cauliflower rice, mix it in at this stage.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly, and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
  8. Serve Warm:
    • Serve the Creamy Chicken Fajita Casserole warm. Enjoy!
