This one-dish oven baked fajita recipe is bursting with southwest flavor and makes an easy weeknight meal! Perfect for chicken fajita salads, burrito bowls, or classic fajitas

One-Dish Oven Baked Fajitas

chicken breasts ((up to 2lbs. chicken will work))

sweet bell

yellow onion, thinly sliced

tbsp homemade taco seasoning

tbsp tapioca starch ((see notes))

brown rice

guacamole

pico de gallo

greens

black or pinto beans

cilantro

lime wedges

Preheat oven to 400.

Place the sliced peppers and sliced onion in a 9x13 baking dish. Try to push the peppers and onions to the edges of the pan as much as possible to make room for the chicken. Place chicken breasts on the bottom of the dish (if you have some peppers underneath the chicken that&#039;s okay).

Drizzle the chicken and veggies with olive oil. Next, mix the seasoning mix and tapioca starch together. Then sprinkle this over the chicken, peppers, and onions. (NOTE: if using store-bought seasoning, you do not need the tapioca starch - just sprinkle directly on chicken/veggies).

Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 F (see notes). Mix peppers half way through baking time.

Remove chicken breasts from the baking dish and shred with two forks. Place shredded chicken back in dish and mix with the pepper and onions.

Enjoy!

Instant Pot Instructions

Boy, my auto correct/proofreading is horrible!

I often take this for a Church potluck (leaving the corn out). Everyon loves it. They especially love the addition of the black beans not ever having them  before. I do like to sub them with intos every now and then.  Most of the dishes that I take to potluck at by you.  I haven't found a bad one yet! Thank you so much for doing what yo do!!

I made the instapot version, and my boys loved it so much. They ask for it weekly!

Taste delicious 😋  thankyou I will definitely be using your chicken recipes and crockpot chicken dinners.

Oh this sounds so good, I simply love Mexican food and plan on making this soon.  I like to do a lot of prep work when I buy my groceries.  I'll get 3 or4 bunches of green onions, clean them and chop up fairly small slices and freeze them in a ziplock bag.  Same with regular onions, peppers, and herbs like cilantro. I'm elderly so I like to make things as easy for me as I can.  A whole chicken is too much for just me, so I buy canned chicken breast.  Small cans for chicken salad for sandwiches or to put into my fiesta style scrambled eggs, and large ones for casseroles to take somewhere or for yummy stuff like this. It's much cheaper for me. Love your recipes!!!

Easy weeknight dinner! Crockpot fiesta chicken recipe is full of southwestern flavor!

Crockpot Fiesta Chicken

Let’s make a feel-good version of our favorite takeout! A true one-pot wonder, this easy Instant Pot chicken burrito bowl recipe features hearty chicken + tender rice along with beans and corn, and is a perfect dump-and-go, one-pot option for busy weeknights, or meal prep!

Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowl (One-Pot!)

garlic powder

corn kernels

15- oz no-salt-added fire roasted diced tomatoes

chicken broth

long grain white rice

Fresh Tomato Salsa

Easy Guacamole

Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and broth to a 6-quart pressure cooker, stirring to combine.

Add the beans, corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and tomatoes with juices in an even layer. Do not stir.

Add the rice on top and spread into an even layer over the top so that all the rice is submerged/touching liquid. Do not stir.

Set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 10 minutes.

When the timer goes off, carefully quick release the pressure.

Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork, add the lime juice, and gently stir it into the rest of the ingredients. Do not over-stir, or the rice will become mushy. Put the lid back on the pressure cooker without sealing, and allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes for rice to absorb any remaining liquid if necessary.

Serve with any toppings you like, just don’t skip the toppings, as they really make this dish special!

Oh my goodness-this was absolutely delicious. I followed your directions for a whole cup of rice since we love rice and it turned out perfect. My husband said “why go to Chipotle when you can make this?” He is right-chicken was tender, seasonings were perfect, and customizable toppings are always fun. We added jalapeño slices, sour cream, cheese, avocado, and crushed tortilla chips. Thanks for another winner!

Are there any tricks to doubling this recipe?  I followed everything, and just doubled the ingredients, and got lots of "food burn" alerts on the instant pot, and it was generally a disaster.  Worked fine when  I followed the normal proportions though.  Agree with others that the dish is too rice-heavy as is, I prefer to cut it in half.

Great recipe. Great taste. I added a dusting of cayenne for heat. Next time I will reduce the rice by 1/4 or 1/2. The recipe as is, is rice heavy. 
Thank you for sharing the recipe. 

This is the recipe I didn't know I needed in my life. It will definitely be on repeat in our home. Super easy, delicious, and perfect for leftovers. Definitely recommend this one!

Delicious! Family approved. Easy peasy. And enough leftover for lunches tomorrow. Stuff recipe dreams are made of.
