keto creamy chicken fajita casserole
Ingredients:
- Chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
- Bell peppers, sliced (various colors)
- Onion, sliced
- Fajita seasoning (keto-friendly)
- Cream cheese
- Heavy cream
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, cilantro
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature, usually around 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions, and cook until they start to soften and caramelize.
- Add the cooked and sliced chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with keto-friendly fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes to combine the flavors.
- In a separate saucepan, melt a portion of cream cheese over low heat. Once it’s softened, gradually add in heavy cream while stirring to create a creamy sauce.
- Mix the creamy sauce into the chicken and vegetable mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
- Top the casserole with shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is golden, remove it from the oven.
- Allow it to cool slightly before serving. You can top servings with optional toppings like sour cream, avocado slices, or fresh cilantro.
