Ingredients

  • 450 g fajita chicken I used my air fryer chicken fajitas recipe made with my fajita seasoning blend
  • 225 g fusilli pasta uncooked weight
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 red pepper
  • Splash of oil
  • 100 ml soft cheese I used a low-fat version to make this lighter
  • 200 ml chicken stock

Instructions

  • If you're making your chicken fajitas from scratch then do this first. I love to make air fryer chicken fajitas as they're very simple!
  • Slice your cooked chicken finely.
  • Prepare your pasta based on the packet instructions, then reserve a little of the pasta water to help thin your sauce slightly later if needed.
  • Finely slice the peppers and onion.
  • Fry the peppers and onion for 4 minutes, using a little splash of oil, in a frying pan, until almost cooked through.
  • Add the cooked pasta and slice fajita chicken.
  • Add in the soft cheese and mix until combined.
  • Stir in the chicken stock.
  • Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, until lightly bubbling.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if you want to thin the sauce slightly.
  • Serve your dish and enjoy!
  • I love to add a little cracked pepper on the top and a sprinkling of cheese too, but this is optional.
