Mexican Quinoa Chicken Fajita Casserole Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the quinoa, black beans, salsa, chicken broth, salt, garlic and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese in a large bowl. Transfer to a 9x13-inch casserole dish sprayed with baking spray. Bake for 30 minutes. While the quinoa is baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the diced jalapeños, onion, garlic and peppers; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Fajita seasoning (if using). Saute until crisp-tender. Remove from heat. Toss the chicken with the Fajita seasoning. Remove quinoa from oven after 30 minutes; stir well and add the chicken. Stir gently to get the chicken mostly covered by the mixture. Return to the oven for another 30 minutes of baking. When the quinoa is done top with sautéed peppers and remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake another 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

1 1/2 cups uncooked white quinoa
1 14-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups salsa (I use fresh)
2 cups chicken broth (add more during cooking if needed)
Sea salt and ground pepper to taste
3 cups shredded pepper-jack cheese, divided in half
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic (optional)
2 small jalapeños, deseeded and finely diced
1 onion, sliced and chopped into large pieces
3 bell peppers, sliced then chopped into large pieces
2 tsp Fajita seasoning (optional)
1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
2 tbsp Fajita seasoning

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Mix the quinoa, black beans, salsa, chicken broth, salt, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese in a large bowl. Transfer to a well-greased casserole dish (something close to 9×13). Bake for 30 minutes.
  • While the quinoa is baking, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the jalapeño, onion, and peppers. Sauté until golden brown and tender-crisp, like you would for fajitas. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Toss the raw chicken with the taco seasoning. When the quinoa is done with the first 30 minutes of baking, stir it up really well and add the raw chicken. Stir the chicken into the mixture to get the chicken mostly covered by the mixture, and return to the oven for another 30 minutes of baking. If you notice there are a few uncooked quinoa pieces on top, just give it a stir and bake it a little longer (a few readers also commented that it helped them to add a little extra broth at this point). It’s usually fully cooked on the bottom but those top pieces sometimes need a little extra love.
  • When the quinoa is done, top with the peppers and remaining cheese – bake another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your liking.
