- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breast (or thighs), cut into 1 - 2" pieces
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 4 bell peppers, sliced (I used 3 colors for taste and color)
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream (4 oz.)
- 4 oz. cream cheese (roughly sliced to melt faster)
- 3 Tbsp. taco seasoning (or 1 packet) like Dan-O's Seasoning (carb free)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, divided shredded
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces. Season with pepper and garlic powder. Cook until done (approx. 8 min.). Set aside on a plate. Preheat oven to 350°. Add bell peppers and onion to hot skillet. Cook on medium heat until tender. Add chicken back to skillet with all the pan juices from the plate.
Stir in sour cream, cream cheese, taco seasoning, and half the cheddar cheese. Stir well to evenly coat. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on the top and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
Garnish with all your favorite taco toppings: cilantro, diced tomatoes, red onion, guacamole, or salsa. Enjoy!
