Here's what you need: red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, white onion, chicken breasts, oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin

Provided by Joey Firoben

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ green bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ white onion, thinly sliced
2 chicken breasts
2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons cumin

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!

AIR-FRYER FAJITA-STUFFED CHICKEN RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT



Air-Fryer Fajita-Stuffed Chicken Recipe: How to Make It image

I had all the ingredients for fajitas, but instead of heating up my big oven, I decided to try a different version in the air fryer. Since my air fryer is small, I wanted to put as much filling as I could in each stuffed chicken breast. This worked nicely by cutting slits in the breasts and then filling them. —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas
