Fajita Hasselback Chicken Recipe By Tasty

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:

• Cook the spinach on a medium heat in a splash of oil for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly wilted.
• Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30-60 seconds. Allow to cool.
• Cut slits into the chicken breasts about 1cm (½ inch) apart but don't cut all the way through - about 75% of the way down is what you should aim for.
• Stuff all of the spinach and ricotta mixture into the slits.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Grate the cheddar and sprinkle it generously on top.
• Shake the ground paprika over the chicken to add some colour and flavour.
• Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes 400°F (200°C) until the cheese has melted and the juices are clear.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place bell peppers and onions into mixing bowl and thoroughly coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Tear off a sheet of parchment paper, large enough to fold into a packet.
• Place bell peppers and chicken breast on top of parchment paper. Season with the fajita seasoning.
• Fold the edges of the parchment paper widthwise 2-3 times then twist the ends until fully closed.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large skillet, coat chicken with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and garlic powder. Cook 5-7 minutes.
• Add the peppers and onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft. Remove chicken, onions and peppers from the pan and set aside.
• Place the tortilla in the skillet and add a layer of cheese on half of the tortilla.
• Add cooked chicken, peppers and onions. Top with more cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
• Cook for 6 minutes over medium heat, flipping half way.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream on the side.
• Enjoy!

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!
