Green Chili and Cheese Casserole

Whip up this tasty Mexican recipe using just four simple ingredients.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1-1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1 (4oz.) can diced green chili peppers, drained
1 tablespoon dry fajita seasoning

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Make a deep cut into the side of each chicken breast half to form a pocket.

Stuff 1/4 cup of cheese and about 1 tablespoon of the chilies onto each chicken half. Close and secure with a toothpick so that the cheese does not escape during cooking. Place the stuffed chicken into the baking dish.

Season the meat with the fajita seasoning. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and chilies over the top.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until the chicken juices run clear and the cheese is lightly browned.
