Fajita Chicken Casserole

Let’s get to cooking!  So, here are a few notes about this recipe. Because of the short cooking time (in both methods) I’ve opted for frozen bell peppers and onions. They cook through faster and offer a softer texture than fresh.  

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can chop your own onions and peppers and saute them in a super hot skillet before mixing the casserole together for even more flavor.  

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 3 large breasts)
• 2 cups instant rice
• 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup frozen diced onion and bell pepper blend
• 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with chilies (like Ro*Tel), undrained
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 (1.12-ounce) packet fajita seasoning ( I prefer McCormick)
• 1 (8-ounce) shredded Mexican blend cheese ( about 2 cups)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
2. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 
3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, uncooked rice, cream of chicken, sour cream, diced onion and bell pepper, tomatoes with chilies, chicken broth, fajita seasoning, and about half of the cheese.
