Chicken Fajita Casserole is a creamy, cheesy casserole packed with chicken, rice and veggies. It\u2019s a quick and easy one-dish meal, perfect for busy weeknights!<\/em><\/p>\n

A FAST CASSEROLE RECIPE<\/h2>\n

If you enjoy chicken fajitas then you will surely love this casserole! It takes all the things you love about chicken fajitas but puts it in a casserole \u2013 which is fast and easy to throw together. This ended up being a huge hit with us. I took a few shortcuts to make it quicker to prepare but I give notes below on how you can change it up if you want to put a little more work into it. This is definitely a fun meal to add to your Taco Tuesday rotation when you want something a little different on the menu!<\/p>\n

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\u00a0<\/h2>\n
\n
What to serve with Chicken Fajita Casserole? <\/strong> <\/p>\n

This casserole is super filling and hearty as it is. If you want to add some more veggies, I think adding some steamed veggies would be nice. Serving with a side salad is always great. I think you could even serve this with some tortillas and scoop the filling into them and enjoy it that way. See my recipe for Homemade Flour Tortillas<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I make this a bit more homemade?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

So this recipe was created to be a quick throw together casserole. Obviously, you can make it more homemade if that\u2019s what you would prefer.\u00a0Quick, easy, and convenient is what I was going for with this original recipe. You could make your own Mexican Rice<\/a> and your own Homemade Salsa<\/a> and your own Fajita Seasoning<\/a>. You can make this as complicated or as simple as you like. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

What other rice options can I try?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have the Spanish Rice packets from the store, you can make some Homemade Spanish Rice<\/a> (my recipe uses ground beef- just omit it for this recipe), my 3 Ingredient Mexican Rice<\/a>, or use other options like cooked white rice or cilantro rice.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

How to store leftover casserole?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

You can keep the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. The longer it sits in the fridge beyond 3 days it will get a little dry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
