Ingredients

• 8 oz shredded cheddar
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 1 red pepper seeded and sliced into small strips
• 1.5 tbsp fajita seasoning
• 10 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
• 1 large onion peeled and sliced into small strips

Instructions

First, Preheat the oven to 350. Put the chicken in the casserole that you will use for this dish. Cover with foil and bake until cooked to 160 degrees, about 30-40 min. Cool for a few minutes, then chop or chop into bite-sized pieces. Drain the cooking liquid from the casserole.

Then, Meanwhile, in a frying pan coated with cooking spray, cook pepper and onion over medium-low heat until golden brown and tender. I let mine caramelize all the time that the chicken was in the oven. I just let the heat in between low and medium and jumped into the kitchen to give them a stir every 5-10 min. Cool until warm.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, half grated cheddar and fajita seasoning. Add the chopped chicken, onion and pepper. Put back in the same oven dish that you cooked the chicken. Sprinkle remaining cheese. You can refrigerate the casserole for a day or two at this stage. I made it in the morning and put it in the oven before dinner.

Bake at 350 ° C for 35-40 minutes until the mixture is hot and bubbling.
