How To Make Low Carb Fajita Chicken Bake

1. Prep Oven & Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
2. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
3. Add Peppers & Bake: Scatter the diced red and green bell peppers over the chicken. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
4. Add Cheese & Finish Baking: Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Serve: For a crispy top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
