Keto Chicken Fajita Casserole

keto-chicken-fajita-casserole

This Keto Chicken Fajita Casserole is full of flavor…One of my families go-to’s for weekday dinners with it’s 30 minute cook time! Chicken breast, peppers, and onions are seasoned with a homemade fajita seasoning then cream cheese brings it all together.

MAKE YOUR OWN CHICKEN FAJITA SEASONING

I prefer to make my own fajita seasoning because it is easy and I always have the spices on hand.  This recipe uses salt, cumin, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

CHEESY KETO CHICKEN FAJITAS

I love regular chicken fajitas but I think this cheesy version is out of this world.  The addition of the cream cheese really makes this a more substantial meal.  Plus, we put more shredded cheddar cheese on top!

The process of this chicken fajita casserole couldn’t be easier

  • 1st we cook the peppers and onions
  • then we cook the chicken with the seasonings
  • mix it all together with the cream cheese
  • melty cheese on top and done!

KETO SIDE DISHES FOR CHICKEN FAJITAS

This dish is rich on it’s own so I would choose something lighter like a side salad, Mexican cauliflower rice, or roasted broccoli.
