Effortless one-pan stuffed chicken fajitas, made for a delightful dinner for two.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 4 teaspoons from 1 packet (.85 oz) Old El Paso™ Chicken Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 5 oz each)
  • 1 1/4 cups Progresso™ reduced sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1/2 cup uncooked regular white rice
  • 2 tablespoons queso fresco cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges
Instructions:
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet. Cook onion and bell pepper with 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning mix over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables soften. Remove from heat and cool for about 5 minutes before handling.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the remaining 3 teaspoons of taco seasoning mix. Cut a 3-inch-long pocket into the thick side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Rub the chicken breasts with the taco seasoning mixture and stuff each breast with half of the onion mixture. Secure the pocket with toothpicks.
  • In the same skillet, cook chicken for 1 to 3 minutes on each side until browned; set chicken aside. Bring broth to a boil in the skillet, and stir in rice. Place chicken over rice, cover, and simmer on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and chicken juices run clear (at least 165°F in the thickest part). Remove toothpicks before serving.
  • Top with crumbled queso fresco cheese and fresh cilantro, and garnish with lime wedges before serving.
