Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 bell peppers (sliced; vary colors for visual appeal)
- 1 small onion (sliced)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until fully cooked and golden brown, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

- Return the chicken to the pan, stirring in the fajita seasoning mix, sour cream, and softened cream cheese until well combined.
- Transfer the flavorful mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and top with grated cheddar cheese.
