Life is just better when your dinner tastes this good! It is simply impossible to not love life with a plate of fajita stuffed chicken breast in front of you - it's a pick-me-up, feel good dinner. Chicken breasts are stuffed with peppers, onions, and spicy habanero jack cheese then rubbed with chili powder and grilled or pan-fried until juicy, cheesy, and delicious.
Lay the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut a pocket into them. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Sprinkle the chili powder and sea salt over both sides of the chicken.
Add the Monterey Jack cheese, bell peppers, and red onion to a medium-sized bowl and mix together. Stuff this into the pockets you cut in the chicken breasts.
3 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, ½ red bell peppers, ½ green bell pepper, ¼ cup red onion
