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 thought these were just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the overall flavor was not very exciting.

I'm always looking for new ways to use my fajita seasoning and this recipe did not disappoint. The chicken melts were flavorful and juicy. I served them with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa and they were a hit!
