Description
Delicious chicken fajita roll-ups with a creamy corn filling, perfect for a flavorful dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed)
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, corn, bell peppers, onion, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each chicken breast, then roll up tightly from one end.
- Secure each roll with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken roll-ups on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Optional: sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Remove toothpicks before serving. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
You can substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese to reduce calories. For a spicier version, add a diced jalapeño to the filling.
