Notes

Some of my favorite ways to serve fiesta chicken

  • Quesadillas: Layer fiesta chicken between tortillas and add shredded cheese for a flavorful twist!
  • Stuffed Bell Peppers: Slice off bell pepper tops, remove seeds, and fill each pepper with the fiesta chicken mixture.
  • Burrito Bowl: Begin with a fluffy white or brown rice base, then pile on the shredded chicken.
  • Chicken Tacos: Warm corn or flour tortillas filled with delicious cooked chicken.
