Receta One-Pot Chicken Fajita Pasta
One pot meals are one of my favorite weeknight meals to make. They are super quick and only dirty up one pan! Woohoo!! Chicken Legs especially loves fewer pans to clean. On my last trip home, my Mom gave me some of her bell peppers. I chopped them up and froze them for later. I ended up using them in this One-Pot Chicken Fajita Pasta.
I am a total sucker for chicken fajitas. I can eat way too much of them at the Mexican restaurant. This chicken fajita pasta is equally delicious. Everything cooks in the same skillet, even the pasta. It is ready for the table in about 20 minutes! I cooked the chicken with some onions and peppers. I added a packet of fajita seasoning, Rotel, chicken broth, cream and pasta. I let it simmer for about 15 minutes then stirred in some sour cream and cheese, because I love sour cream and cheese on my fajitas! OMG! This is SO good. I ate way too much of this, but it was totally worth it. I saved the leftover for lunch the next day and it reheated great.
