    Classic Fajitas - But It's a Casserole

    Classic stovetop fajitas turned into a delicious casserole that your whole family will love. Tender chicken with homemade fajita seasoning, blended with shredded cheese and veggies makes the perfect dinner. Serve with a side of cauliflower rice or tortillas for the rest of your family.

    Easy

    This easy Chicken Fajita Casserole is a perfect weeknight meal to make (weekends are good too! LOL). Only 8 ingredients, can you believe it? I think it's total comfort food. Comfort food is great during a crazy weeknight don't you think? 🙂

    One Pan Skillet Dinner

    While you can use any oven-proof skillet, I love to use my cast-iron skillet for this chicken fajita casserole. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, transfer to a baking dish.

    Keto Chicken Recipe

    With healthy fats and low carb vegetables, keto chicken fajita casserole is a great option if you follow a ketogenic diet.

    You can increase healthy fat content by adding avocado or cooking in additional olive oil. You can also substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts. 

    Fajita Casserole ingredients

    Here are the ingredients you will need to make this healthy chicken fajita casserole.

    Ingredients needed for making chicken fajita casserole
    • Olive Oil
    • Chicken Thighs - boneless skinless thighs, but you can also use chicken breast too!
    • Bell Peppers - use any favorite color. I love using different colors.
    • Yellow Onion - While I used a yellow onion, you could also use a sweet, white, or red onion.
    • Homemade Fajita Seasoning Recipe or Copycat Taco Seasoning Mix Recipe - you can use either healthy seasoning mix. I highly recommend you make your own seasoning mix - it's easy, inexpensive, and much healthier than store-bought.
    • Sour Cream
    • Cream Cheese
    • Shredded Cheddar Cheese - use mild or sharp shredded cheese - whichever you prefer. Substitute pepper jack cheese if you it spicy!
    • Optional for Serving: avocado slices, shredded cheese, guacamole, fresh cilantro, or salsa. Don't forget hot sauce for the spicy lovers! 🙂

    For exact ingredient quantities, please see the recipe card below!

    How to make Chicken Fajita Casserole

    Here's how to make this easy chicken fajita casserole:

    Cook The Chicken

    Make the homemade fajita seasoning or taco seasoning.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Preheat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Saute the chicken thighs (or chicken breast) until done.

    Tip: the safe cooking temperature of chicken is 165º

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

    Cooking the chicken for the fajita casserole.

    Saute Onion and Peppers

    Add onions and peppers and saute until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes, or until cooked to your desired tenderness.

    Sauteeing the colorful bell peppers, and onions in a cast iron skillet.

    Add The Seasoning

    Add chicken back to the pan.

    Stir in the fajita seasoning, sour cream, and cream cheese. Mix well.

    Mixing the fajita seasoning into the chicken, onions, and peppers in the skillet.

    Bake

    Sprinkle the top with the shredded cheddar cheese and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

    How Do You Cut Chicken Breast for Chicken Fajitas?

    For traditional fajitas, cut chicken breast into thin 1/2" strips sliced horizontally, cutting against the grain. 

    Keep in mind that the smaller the pieces, the quicker they will cook so you may need to shorten your cooking time as recommended by the recipe instructions.

    How to serve Fajita Casserole

    Here's how to serve this easy chicken fajita casserole:

    "I love this warm flavorful, slightly spicy, chicken fajita casserole balanced with the cold crisp freshness of a simple green salad. " -Kori

    Meal idea! Serve chicken fajita casserole on its own, with cauliflower rice, or in flour or corn tortillas (or a low carb keto equivalent). Serve a simple fresh side salad with Avocado Dressing.

    Top with avocado slices, sour cream, salsa, Chipotle Crema, or Roasted Chili Corn Salsa for added freshness.

    What toppings go on chicken fajitas?

    Typically people top their fajitas with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa or taco sauce, and avocado slices or guacamole. Of course, this is all a personal preference! 

    How to store Fajita Chicken Casserole

    Store any leftover fajita casserole in an airtight container up to 3 days. This recipe does not freeze well as the pepper become very watery and the dairy often separates.

    Can I Freeze Chicken Fajita Casserole?

    Yes, definitely! That's one of the best things about this casserole. You can portion out meals, and freeze it in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

    Chicken Fajita Bake makes amazing leftovers for lunch!! So much flavor and a great change-up from soup and sandwiches.

    Keto Chicken Fajitas casserole tips

    • Use boneless chicken thighs or breasts that have been cut into uniform sizes (approx 1" to 2" in size, or you can do 1.2" strips if you prefer)
    • Cook the onions and peppers to your desired tenderness. Some people love them crisp-tender; others love them completely soft. 
    • Cook the chicken to 165º - the safe internal cooking temperature.
    • Since most of the recipe is cooked, you only need to bake the casserole to get the cheese bubbly and heat the inside. No more, no less. 🙂 Technically, you don't even have to bake this casserole, but you won't have that nice ooey gooey melted cheese on top!
    • If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, just cook chicken, peppers, and onion according to the recipe. Stir in the dairy. Put the mixture into a casserole baking dish, then top with shredded cheddar cheese and bake. 

    Fajita Chicken Casserole FAQs

    What temperature should chicken be cooked to?

    The USDA recommends that chicken should be cooked to 165º degrees. I always check the temperature of my chicken with an instant read thermometer. Here is a link to their Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart.

    Are chicken fajitas healthy for you?

    Chicken fajitas are very healthy! With plenty of nutrients, healthy fat, protein, and fiber you will feel satisfied long after your meal is over. 

    Amazingly, each serving of this chicken fajita bake (keto low carb) has over 100% of your day's vitamin C, 35% Vitamin A, 30% zinc, 23% calcium, and is loaded with Vitamin B's!  48% Vitamin B12, 45% Vitamin B6, 44% Vitamin B3, 41% Riboflavin B2. 

    Where are all these vitamins coming from? Well, the fats are coming from the chicken, olive oil, cheese, and sour cream. The calcium is mostly coming from the cheese and sour cream, but the bulk of the remaining B's, Vitamin A , and Zinc, are coming from the bell peppers. 

    Here's a super interesting article about peppers from WebMD:

    How many carbs are in fajitas without tortillas?

    Fajitas without tortillas and contains approximately 10 grams of carbs per 1 cup serving.

        Hi Sarah! Yes, it definitely can be made ahead of time! Since everything is cooked you're pretty much just re-heating until the cheese is bubbly. If you pull it straight out of the fridge cold it will take a little longer to bake and get the cheese bubbly. Enjoy!

        Hello! 🙂 I would just use your favorite cheese. Maybe you could add a little cream cheese? If all the cheese is making it too "thick" then you could possible add a little cream or milk to stir in?

        Hi Amber,
        I have a friend who also hates sour cream so I have used plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. It still has a bit of a "sour" taste so it works (in my opinion). I haven't made this recipe yet but I would give the yogurt a try. 🙂

        I think you could cook the chicken and peppers in the crockpot, but you'd want to drain the liquids before adding the rest of the ingredients. You're going to laugh...I did this very thing (only didn't drain the liquids) and that is how my Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup recipe came about! LOL! 🙂

      This was a great recipe and so easy. I had leftover shredded chicken from another dish and used it. I also added some grape tomatoes that I had left from a veggie tray to get them out of the fridge. I didn’t make a side and it was very liquid so I added riced cauliflower it made it more filling and I didn’t want to use tortillas. It was so yummy I’ll definitely make this again.

      Absolutely delicious. I'd never made fajitas before but took a chance and made this for company tonight. I've been following keto for 6 weeks, and this was a fantastic meal.

      You may need to correct the nutritional information. It says there are
      439 Carbs with a Net Carb of 9.4.

        Hi there! 🙂 It's actually correct but it reads as sodium: 439mg, carbs: 9.4g, net carb: 7.6g. I think because it's such small print and sort of all runs together it can be hard to read. Enjoy the recipe and have a good day!

      Are you using 6 chicken breast?
      That just seems like a lot for one skillet...

        Use 4 to 6 oz chicken breasts. So in total around 24 to 36 ounces of chicken. I will clarify in the post. I used chicken thighs which I believe on average are around 4 ounces. It's a pretty flexible recipe so if you are over or under it's okay. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

        Are you using six thin sliced chicken breasts? From the video it looks to be about 3 cups of uncooked chicken in 1" pieces. Do you have the measurements in cups so that I can make this with leftover chicken?

          I vary between chicken breast or thighs. They are about 4 to 6 oz each. So in total around 24 to 36 ounces of chicken. I made it with pre-cooked chicken recently and used between 5 and 6 cups. It's a pretty flexible recipe so if you are over or under it's okay. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

      It was delicious!! Made it with 3 boneless chicken breasts, 3 large red bell peppers, small onion, extra taco seasoning, hot sauce, all the cheeses, and sour cream. Did everything in a skillet and baked it in a glass 9 x 13 pan. Came out fantastic!! Definitely a keeper!! Thank you!!!

      I am thankful to the person who kindly shared the fact that she uses pepper flakes instead of real peppers. Unfortunately, since I have aged certain foods do Not agree with me.

        Hi, I use either a 12" skillet or (4) 6.5" individual-sized skillets. If you don't have a skillet you can transfer to a similar size casserole dish. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

        When you add seasoning mix to the chicken and peppers, do you also need to add water according to the packet directions ? Or does the cream cheese and sour cream sub for the water you’d normally use ?

          No need to add any additional water. The vegetables themselves have liquid in them. Give it a go as is, then next time if you want it more "saucy" you can always add a little water. I hope you enjoy! 🙂

      This is SO good. One of my favorite dishes and super simple to make!! I don’t and my family don’t need low carb, so I just added some cooked brown rice as a base in the dish before putting in the oven. 10/10 recommend and I even topped with a little bit of salsa. Yum!!
