Chicken Fajita Rollup Ingredients:
This recipe is so simple to make and one of my all-time favorites. It only takes a few ingredients and some time in the oven.
- Thinly sliced chicken breast - For this recipe, I use a thin slice of chicken so it is easy to roll. If you don't have a chicken breast that is thinly sliced then I would place your chicken in a baggy and seal with no air inside. Use a rolling pin to smash your chicken to flatten it out. This will help you roll your chicken and help it to bake faster.
- Fajita seasoning - Any Mexican flavor seasoning will work for this recipe. I have made it several times with fajita or taco seasoning and love both ways.
- Limes - You will be using the juice and zest for this recipe.
- Bell peppers - Slice your bell peppers into thin strips so they can easily be placed in your chicken.
- Cheddar jack cheese - Any shredded cheese that you would serve on tacos or fajitas will work for this recipe.
Making Chicken Fajita Rollup:
Step one: Start by prepping your casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and then preheating your oven.
Step two: Next season your chicken. To make sure all my chicken gets seasoned I place my chicken into a large plastic bag then add in my fajita seasoning and the juice from both limes and the zest from one.
You want a stronger lime flavor then you can zest each lime. Seal tightly and shake the bag and massage the chicken until all your chicken is seasoned.
Step three: Once well seasoned you can take the chicken out of the baggy and then place a few thinly sliced bell peppers and some shredded cheese in the middle of each chicken breast. Roll and secure with a toothpick. Place in your prepared casserole dish.
Step four: Last, bake until chicken is cooked through and reaches a safe temperature. Remove toothpick from each chicken first and then serve.
