Description
Queso Chicken Fajita Skillet is a bold one-pan recipe made with juicy chicken, bell peppers, onion, fajita seasoning, rice, tomato sauce, and chicken broth, all topped with creamy queso cheese for a rich, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 orange bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 packet fajita seasoning
• 2 cups Minute rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• Gordos cheese dip, for topping
• Optional: Shredded cheese, such as Monterey Jack or cheddar, for topping
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper strips. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Stir in the Minute rice, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Mix well to combine all ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the skillet sit undisturbed so the rice can absorb the broth.
To serve, spoon Gordos cheese dip generously on top. For extra cheesiness, you can also sprinkle with shredded cheese. Serve hot.
