Fajita Chicken Breasts Casserole Weight Watchers Directions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the spice mix: In a large bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Season the chicken: Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Sear the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. They do not need to be fully cooked through.
- Assemble the casserole: Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish.
- Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the bell peppers and onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and salsa, stirring to combine, and let simmer for a few minutes.
- Bake: Pour the vegetable and tomato mixture over the chicken in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
