Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the chicken, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl and toss to coat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until it just starts to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 3 minutes more.
• Transfer the chicken and onion mixture to another large bowl and rinse and dry the skillet. Add the rice, 1/2 cup of the cheese, half the lime juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper to the chicken and toss to combine. Divide the filling among the peppers.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, arrange the peppers on top and turn to high heat. When the oil starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes, transfer to the oven and bake until the filling is hot and the peppers are softened, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the peppers and bake until melted, about 3 minutes more.
• Drizzle the remaining lime juice over the peppers and top with the cilantro leaves. Serve with the sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a small bowl, mix together all of the fajita seasoning ingredients and set aside.
• 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.
• 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.
• Spoon in some of the fajita pepper mixture so that the breast is comfortably stuffed.
• Season the chicken on both sides with fajita seasoning.
• Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and brown the chicken, about 4-5 minutes per side.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the meat is cooked through.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• In a separate bowl, combine the chicken with the salt, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, evenly distributing the spices over the chicken.
• On a cutting board, slice a pocket in the chicken horizontally.
• 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.
• 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!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine all the DRY ingredients for the marinade preparation first.
• Blend sour cream and the La Costena In Adobo Sauce Chipotle Peppers in a food processor to make into a creamy spread. Put in refrigerator until time to serve.
• Mix about 1/2 teaspoon of the marinade powder, before adding olive oil, to the shredded queso cheese. Toss the cheese and powder to mix well.
• Add olive oil to the marinade, then add chicken to a sealable glass container, or in a zip lock bag.
• Let marinade in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Slice the peppers for the chicken preparation in thin slices to lay on top of the chicken.

• Dice the other halves of the peppers.
• Preheat oven to 425.
• Add cut sweet potatoes to a bowl. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp Tajín Clásico Seasoning, salt & pepper to taste.
• Spread sweet potatoes on baking sheet in a single layer & bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. They are done when crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
• Lay chicken breasts on another sheet pan, and lay the long slices of peppers across the chicken in a diagonal pattern. sprinkle the Queso cheese mixture over each piece of chicken. Cook until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. It is best to use an electronic probe style thermometer with an alarm for this effort. You don't want to under or over cook the chicken.
• While the sweet potatoes and chicken are roasting in the oven, add corn to a non-stick skillet and dry roast until browned, stirring occasionally. Approx. 10-15 minutes Time will vary depending upon if you use fresh or frozen corn.
• Add all the chopped peppers and vegetables, along with corn to a large serving bowl and toss.
• Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, remove from oven, let cool for 5 mins, then add to serving bowl with all other ingredients.
• Pour dressing over salad, toss gently until combined. Serve room temperature.
