Chicken Fajita Pasta
This recipe is very similar to the Cajun pasta recipe that I
posted the other day but I had a few people ask me about this recipe, so I decided
to share! Just like the Cajun pasta I made this with gluten free pasta and
olive oil instead of butter. It is literally chicken fajitas and pasta combined.
So. Freaking. Good.
And so simple. One day I’d like to try this with shrimp. I feel confident it would taste even better! You could even cheat and use your favorite packaged taco seasoning. This is also the perfect recipe for meal prep. And it will give the pasta and chicken time to soak up all those amazing flavors. I’d love for you to post pics of you making this recipe and tag me in them!
