Creamy Fajita Chicken Pasta Recipe
Quick, easy Creamy Fajita Chicken Pasta. Dinner, lunch or meal prep Recipe Tender Chicken in a creamy sauce, with pasta, peppers & onions
Swap chicken for mushrooms & Kidney beans to make vegetarian, we used fusilli pasta but any pasta will work, add extra veggies to bulk out. The onions & peppers can be diced or sliced which ever size you prefer. This dish is perfect for reheating, so why not double up and meal prep for quick lunches and dinners. For slow cooker, place all ingredients plus a splash of water in the slow cooker for 3-6 hours. Then cook the pasta when your ready to serve, add the herbs, lime juice and cheese at the end.
Cooking Method
- First Boil the pasta in salted water following the packet instructions. Save a cup of pasta water in case you need it later for the sauce.
- While the pasta is cooking, in large frying pan, cook the chicken on a medium high heat until browned on all sides (4-5 mins)
- Add the Fajita recipe seasoning to the pan, and mix well until the chicken is coated then add the peppers and onions. cook until soft (4-5 mins)
- Pour in the cream and bring to the boil, add the pasta and some of the pasta water if the sauce thickens to much. Add the Grated cheese and check seasoning. (you can add some extra chilli at this point if you desire)
- to finish, add the fresh coriander and lime juice.

This recipe was delicious, had to use gluten free pasta as son is coeliac, but still very tasty. Followed recipe exactly although recipe didn’t state amount of fajita seasoning to use, so guessed to put all of it in?
