Ingredients

For the Queso Chicken Fajita Skillet:

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups Minute (instant) rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

  • 1 packet fajita seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Gordos cheese dip (as much as desired, for topping)
