Ingredients
- 1 lb LGCM Chicken Tenders
- Fajita Seasoning
- 1.5 lb Macaroni and Cheese (buy from LGCM’s deli or make your own)
- 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (like Rotel)
- 2 tsp Fajita Seasoning
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Crushed Tortilla Chips
- 1 bunch Green Onion (chopped)
Directions
Season the chicken tenders to your taste with your favorite fajita seasoning. Place on a wire rack over a foil lined baking pan, and broil on high for 5 minutes per side. Remove from oven, and cut in to small chunks.
Add the macaroni and cheese into a medium, greased baking dish. Stir in the can of diced tomatoes and chilis, and 2 tsp. of fajita seasoning, then top with the cooked chicken, shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, and chopped green onion. Place into an oven preheated to 400ºF and bake for about 25 minutes, until the mixture is warmed through and the tortilla chips are browned.
Serve warm and enjoy!
