Sizzling Chicken Fajita Casserole Recipe

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Trim the chicken breasts and cut them into thin slices against the grain.

Slice onions and bell peppers thinly.

In a bowl, combine the chicken, onions, and peppers.

Add 3 tablespoons of avocado oil and 3 tablespoons of fajita seasoning to the bowl and mix well.

Grease a casserole dish and add 1 and 1/4 cups of dried uncooked rice.

Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and a heavy pinch of kosher salt to the rice.

Pour 1 and 1/2 cups of hot chicken broth over the rice mixture.

Add 1 cup of vegetable juice (like V8) and stir to combine.

Layer the chicken, pepper, and onion mixture over the rice mixture in the casserole dish.

Cover the dish tightly with foil or a lid if using a disposable aluminum tin.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.

Return to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

Top with avocado slices and fresh chopped cilantro.
