Easy chicken fajita pasta with fresh vegetables. Well spiced, lightly creamy and ready in under 30 minutes.
Pasta with fajita chicken and vegetables is a lovely family dish – plenty of crunch from the fresh vegetables, juicy chicken and a lightly creamy, well-spiced sauce.
It takes very few ingredients to throw together, and you can top it with crème fraîche, grated cheddar, fresh jalapeño or similar.
If you want it spicy, add a few chilli flakes along with the seasoning – it goes really well with this dish.
You can also swap the cream for mascarpone or a light cream alternative such as Cremefine for a lighter version.
You can make the fajita seasoning yourself, or buy it in a sachet at the supermarket.
