Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 packet (1 oz) Taco Seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 package (12 count) Sweet Hawaiian Rolls
  • 6 to 8 slices Pepper Jack Cheese (or shredded Mexican blend)
  • 4 Tbsp Salted Butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Stir in the sliced bell peppers and onions and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Mix in the taco seasoning, water, and lime juice. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and veggies well.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Using a serrated knife, slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without pulling them apart. Place the bottom half on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Layer pepper jack cheese slices over the bottom buns.
  9. Spread the chicken fajita mixture evenly over the cheese.
  10. Top with another layer of cheese.
  11. Put the top half of the rolls back on.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the rolls generously.
  13. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
  14. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
  15. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and cut between the rolls to serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in taco seasoning and lime juice before cooking; can be made vegetarian by using black beans or grilled veggies.
