Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning, divided
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat Mexican cheese, shredded
  • 10 crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single layer. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of fajita seasoning evenly over the chicken.
  • Arrange the sliced bell peppers and onion over and around the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon fajita seasoning over the vegetables.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle the Mexican cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Top with the crushed tortilla chips.
  • Return to the oven, uncovered, for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla topping is golden and crispy. The chicken should reach 165°F in the thickest part.
  • Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
