Healthy Fajita-Stuffed Chicken

By Tasty50 min🍽 2 servings

Savor the zesty flavors of healthy fajita-stuffed chicken, where tender chicken breast is filled with a medley of colorful veggies and spices. This scrumptious creation will have you shouting, "Olé!" to nutritious and delicious meals.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together all of the fajita seasoning ingredients and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet. Toss in the bell peppers and onions and sprinkle on 2 teaspoons of the fajita seasoning. Sauté until the veggies have softened, about 6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Using a sharp knife, slice into the side of a chicken breast to form a large pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.

  5. 5

    Spoon in some of the fajita pepper mixture so that the breast is comfortably stuffed.

  6. 6

    Season the chicken on both sides with fajita seasoning.

  7. 7

    Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and brown the chicken, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  8. 8

    Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the meat is cooked through.

  9. 9

    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  10. 10

    Enjoy!
