All the flavors you love from chicken fajitas in a fun and easy low carb format. Fajita Stuffed Chicken is a dish the whole family will love!
Fajita Stuffed Chicken is a great family meal. It combines all the things you love about fajitas in a tidy main dish. This recipe always impresses but is super simple and easy to make. Stuffed chicken recipes are always well received. They look fancy and impressive, but are surprisingly simple to make. With just a little preparation and the right ingredients, you can easily make these fajita stuffed chicken breasts and show off your chef skills. This recipe is also a great low-carb option for fajitas.
Chicken breasts are either flattened or “butterflied” to stuff with sautéed peppers and onions, and then baked with cheese to create an amazing flavor. Once you prepare the chicken and it is baking, you can easily whip up a side dish of salad, Spanish rice or veggies. Get ready to impress!

How should I cut my chicken so I can stuff it?
There are a few different ways to stuff your chicken. You can butterfly it (slice lengthwise and fold it out into butterfly wings). You can pound it out thin, using a meat mallet, or even a rolling pin. You can also slice a little pocket into it.
-
How can I keep the stuffing from falling out while the chicken bakes?
Use toothpicks to secure the chicken and help keep all that delicious stuffing on the inside. Slide the toothpicks right through the chicken vertically to pinch the chicken together. Just be sure to remove the toothpicks before serving.

What should I serve with stuffed chicken breasts?
Veggies and salad are great options. Spanish Rice is also perfect for this meal. I love to eat these with guacamole, Mexican Street Corn Salad or one that combines some of each of these side dishes: Simple Black Bean and Corn Salad.

I found your page and Blog through the video response you made to the knucklehead that tried to call you out on the gray hairs. You were so gracious with your response I knew I wanted to check out your page. I’m glad I did. I’m a small sustainable farmer in SC and we raise pasture poultry, have them processed and sell them on our farm. They are MOST delicious by the way. I’m always trying to find recipes to help our customers so I’m excited to send them to your page and share your recipes with them. Please check out my FB page Thames Farm and my website thamesfarm.com. I look forward to more recipes. We also raise Berkshire pigs for pastured pork so I’ll check out your pork recipes too. Thanks for sharing your talent!!!

Love all kinds of stuffed chicken and with a fajita style stuffing? YUM
Your recipes are great but I hate your website So many pop-up ads it is frustrating. Finding a particular recipe is difficult and time consuming.
There shouldn’t be any pop-up ads on my website at all. I hate them too! That’s why I’ve banned them from my site. If you are seeing popups you may have a virus on your computer that is causing them.
I have a brand new phone you have adds
Hey I have a brand new phone too! I certainly have ads on my website because the ingredients and equipment have to be paid for somehow. What I don’t have are popups. I don’t have any pop up ads on my website and never will.
