Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced in thin strips
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa
8 slices French bread, each 1/2-inch thick
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
lime juice

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet until shimmering. Add the chicken and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onions an peppers and saute until vegetables are tender, about another 5 minutes.
  • Add tomato juice and taco seasoning; stir well. Simmer until very thick and chicken is well-coated with sauce, stirring often to prevent burning, about 7 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler and place a rack about 6" from heat.
  • Spread 2 tbsp salsa on each slice of bread. Divide the chicken mixture evenly amongst the slices of bread. Top each piece with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Place under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Finish each sandwich with a few drops of lime juice before serving.

I love that these chicken fajita melts can be made in advance. I often make them in the morning and then bake them for dinner.

These chicken fajita melts are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken after I make a roasted chicken, and these melts are a perfect way to use it up.

The chicken fajita melts were easy to make, but they were a little dry. I think I would add some more sauce next time.

I thought the chicken fajita melts were a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning to the chicken before cooking it, and that helped.

I'm not a big fan of peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The melts were still very good.
