Fajita-Stuffed Chicken
Spice up your dinner with this Tex-Mex-inspired dish. Juicy chicken breasts are stuffed with peppers, onions, and cheese, then topped with a homemade salsa for a dish that's bursting with flavor.
Instructions
- 1
Heat the canola oil (for the veggies) in a pan over high heat. Cook the peppers, onion, salt, and pepper until soft and slightly caramelized.
- 2
Transfer the cooked veggies to a bowl. In the same bowl, mix in the cream cheese, cheddar, and pepper jack, stirring until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
- 3
In a separate bowl, combine the chicken with the salt, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, evenly distributing the spices over the chicken.
- 4
On a cutting board, slice a pocket in the chicken horizontally.
- 5
Fill the pocket with a heaping spoonful of the veggie mixture. Press the edges of the chicken together to seal in the filling. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- 6
Heat the canola oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the stuffed chicken for five minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.

Serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole!
