These chicken fajita melts is the last of the 4 recipes I tried from Food on the Table for their “Food on the Table Challenge”.  To read my review visit this post.  Next to the Penne with Chicken and Pesto, this was my next favorite of the 4 recipes I tried.

This is simple to put together and delicious.  It was kind of like a fajita pizza.  The recipe called for 6 chicken breasts.  I only use 3 because the chicken breasts I had were large.  Also, I sliced my French bread into thicker slices which was good because the mixture you place on top is pretty hefty.  I also managed to get 10 servings out of this rather than the 8 that the recipe said.  I have made my changes to the recipe below.

This is a great meal that is ready in 20 minutes.  The spice level in these chicken fajita melts was also perfect for my family.  However, you can spice it up by the type of taco seasoning, tomato juice, and salsa that you use.

• VEGETABLE OIL
• BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST HALVES
• ONIONS
• RED BELL PEPPER
• TOMATO JUICE
• TACO SEASONING MIX
• SALSA
• FRENCH BREAD
• CHEDDAR CHEESE
