Thank you, Borden Cheese, for sponsoring the post. As all opinions and text are truly my own.
Sandwiches are always a great choice for those busy weeknights. They’re extremely easy to prepare and super versatile! My go-to sandwich recipes usually include the traditional PB&J, or an easy ham & cheese sandwich, but this time I decided to switch things up and make a Cheesy Chicken Fajita Sandwich.
I just love the idea of turning our favorite meals into a sandwich, which is exactly what I did with this recipe! Chicken fajitas are very common in our home, it’s just one of those meals that is easy to prepare and makes the perfect meal any day of the week.
When making these Chicken Fajita Sandwiches, I wanted to make sure that it was very cheesy, so I used Borden® Cheese Singles. Borden Cheese can be found in the dairy aisle at Publix and is the perfect grilling companion. It pairs well with burgers, veggie burgers, chicken, and other grilling favorites. Be sure to look for the new festive packaging available for a limited time this summer. It will make a great compliment to your backyard BBQ!
I love using Borden Cheese in my recipes because it’s made with real milk with no added hormones, and it also contains an excellent source of calcium. It added just the right amount of flavor to these Chicken Fajita Sandwiches.
How To Make Cheesy Chicken Fajita Sandwiches
These chicken fajita sandwiches were really easy to make! Here’s what you need:
- Borden Cheese Singles
- Olive Oil
- Assorted Bell Peppers
- Chicken Breast
- Whole Wheat Buns
- Fajita Seasoning
Start by preparing your fajita seasoning. You can definitely use premade fajita seasoning, but I enjoy making my seasoning from scratch because it allows to control the salt content.
How to make your own fajita seasoning:
To make your own fajita seasoning, whisk together 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
1 tablespoon of chili powder, 3 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and salt/pepper to taste. Store in an airtight container.
Next, slice your bell peppers. Add olive oil to a large skillet and sauté the bell peppers over medium heat. Cook the peppers for about 3-5 minutes.
Season the chicken breast with the fajita seasoning on each side and place the chicken into the skillet. Cook until the chicken is cooked throughout, and the peppers are soft.
Reduce heat to low and place a slice of Borden Cheese on top of each chicken breast. Cover with a lid until the cheese is melted and remove from the heat.
Put together the Chicken Fajita Sandwiches and serve!
What to Serve With Cheesy Chicken Fajita Sandwiches
These sandwiches are pretty filling, so they can be served alone, but you can certainly pair them with a side salad, green beans, or a serving of sweet potato fries. Yum!!
These Cheesy Chicken Fajita Sandwiches are seriously one of my favorite sandwiches that I’ve ever made. I love the gooey, melty cheese paired with the flavorful chicken and colorful vegetable mixture.
