A trio of bell peppers wrapped in fajita spiced chicken and baked to perfection. This healthy low-carb, low-calorie, paleo dish is sure to impress everyone.
Good things are happening in the kitchen today! Just when you thought chicken fajitas couldn’t get any better, they do!! If you’re a fan of chicken fajitas then you’re doing to LOVE this dish
Just imagine, tender chicken fillets filled with an eye-pleasing trio of bell peppers. The chicken is pan-seared first to give it that lovely brown crispy exterior. It is then baked for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the bell peppers are charred on the edges.
You can serve this chicken with a side of veggies, rice, or warm tortillas. Then simply sit back and let the compliments roll in. My husband and daughters couldn’t get enough of these delicious chicken roll ups and I’m sure your loved ones will love them just as much!
