Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta
My granddaughter made this dish. She got it off TikTok. So this is a guesstimate. You can adjust according to your taste with amounts... of seasoning, pasta, chicken, veggies, and cheeses. It turns out she doesn't measure any better than her grandmother 來 That's how easy it is.
Ingredients:
• 16 oz pasta, any shape
• 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small bite size pieces (about 1/2 inch)
• 4-6 tablespoons fajita seasoning, homemade or store bought packet, see note below for recipe
• 2-3 tablespoons healthy oil
• 2 bell pepper, any color, seeded and sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 6-8 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 2 cup pasta water (reserved, might not use it all)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (or similar)
• 5.4 Oz Laughing Cow Cheese (we prefer garlic herb flavored) *can substitute cream cheese
• Chopped cilantro or green onion for garnish (optional)
Instructions
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions (al-dente). Reserve a couple cups of pasta water before draining.
• Season chicken breast pieces with fajita seasoning. Heat oil in a large heavy-duty pan or pot to high (med/high) heat. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
• Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic to pan. Stir for 2-3 minutes or until onion is tender.
• Stir in the laughing cow cheese (cream cheese can be substituted) and a cup of reserved pasta water. Bring to a gentle simmer then stir in the pasta and shredded cheese. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and all the flavors are combined.
• Optional, garnish with fresh minced cilantro, or green onion, serve immediately.
Make pasta and set aside, reserving some of the pasta water.
Then, on high heat, with 2-3 tbsp of healthy oil● cook cubed chicken seasoned with fajita seasoning (you can use a store-bought packet or a homemade blend) until crispy and tender. You can also cook the chicken breasts whole by seasoning well with fajita seasoning and grilling them, then cutting after cooking and stirring it into the pasta at the end.
Next, sauté bell peppers, onion, and garlic just until softened.
Lastly, finish off this easy skillet meal by adding al-denti pasta, cream cheese (laughing cow cheese), your favorite shredded cheddar (or similar, like Mexican blend, Colby cheese, Monterey Jack, etc.) and enough pasta water for desired creamy consistency Flavorful easy recipe. Optional, garnish with cilantro, parsley, or green onion.
My granddaughter likes to stir a little spinach in for another healthy addition I didn't have any on this day. It's good as is.
Note● I say "healthy oil" meaning quality (if possible) good tallow, olive oil, or avocado oil. The food industry is (has been) putting out toxic unhealthy junk.
Most are now aware of this, but if you're not, look it up. Many people ("experts", doctors, etc..) are speaking out about this.
