EASY chicken fajita rice bake!!

Happy Sunday & first day of Fall!! Today I tried a new recipe I originally saw inspired from Tik Tok - chicken fajita rice bake!💃🏼

This is the perfect Fall dinner or perfect for football Sundays

Ingredients:

• 3/4 Cup Jasmine Rice

• 1 + 1/3 Cup Chicken Broth or Stock (low sodium)

• 3 Bell Peppers

• 3 Chicken Breasts

• Fajita Marinade

• Fajita Seasoning Packet

• Cheese to top it off

Prep:

• I prepped the night before making this but at least give the chicken 30 mins to marinade before cooking!

• Slice your three bell peppers into strips

• Slice the chicken breasts into about 3 inch strips & marinade with about 3 + 1/2 TBSP marinade

How To:

•Assuming you’ve already done the above prep - if not, do this first.

• Preheat oven to 350° and get out a 9x13 pan

• Add rice and chicken broth or stock to the 9x13 pan. Sprinkle half the fajita seasoning packet onto the rice-broth mixture. Mix.

• Add sliced bell peppers on top of the rice-broth- seasoning mix. Sprinkle the remaining of the fajita seasoning on the bell peppers. DO NOT MIX.

• Add chicken on top of the bell peppers

• Bake for 45mins - 1 hour. *So the original recipe said to cover with tin foil and I forgot to do this. It did take me closer to 1 hour to cook so it’ll probably cook faster if you cover with tin foil.*

• In the last 10 mins of cooking, remove from the oven and sprinkle some cheese on top.

You can eat this in a bowl with toppings, eat with tortillas, have it in a quesadilla, the options are endless!!
