This is good. Real good. Chicken mango fajita bake. Think a warm tender bun with some crispy on the bottom from the baking and grilling in melted butter. Then you’ve got layers of good flavors between the buns. Deli Chicken. Get the kind you like. Maybe mesquite grilled. Maybe honey maple pepper chicken. Have your deli slice it a tad bit ‘thick’.

Topped on this tender slice of chicken will be a melted cheddar cheese. When you cut into it, yes, you’ll want a knife and fork for this hot dog, you’ll get the tender oozing of melted cheese. Then you have bursts of sweetness. Yep, that’s the unexpected that makes your palate ‘jump’ and say, ‘What the heck just happened! I didn’t expect that!’ Seem warm mangoes just get sweeter between these buns.

Yes, the chicken mango fajita bake might just become your hall of fame, go to, most favorite quick and easy night time meal. Throw a salad beside it or make some chips, and you’re got something that fans will rave about. It’s gonna be your next tailgating meal. When the big games and events are on television and you have a crowd, you’re gonna bring out hot cast iron skillets of these luscious most amazing ‘hot dogs’. Be not afraid if you earn a crown and sash as best cook ever! xoxo ~ally
