Instructions

  • Take the cubed chicken and season with half the packet of taco/fajita seasoning & set aside.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat one tablespoon olive oil with the seasoned chicken, cooking about 1-2 minutes each side until browned, remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet then add the onions, bell peppers, and remaining taco seasoning. Cook while stirring until they are softened.
  • Turn heat down to LOW, then add in the minced garlic, stirring for about one minute, then remove and set aside with the chicken.
  • In the same skillet, add the broth, cream, diced tomatoes, uncooked pasta, salt & pepper.
  • Mix until combined then bring to a boil for about one minute
  • Reduce the heat to LOW , cover and cook for 12 or so minutes or until pasta is tender & liquid is absorbed (mostly)
  • Add the chicken and veggies back into the skillet and stir for about about 3 minutes.
  • ENJOY!
