Chicken Fajita Pasta Bake
This is the kind of recipe that makes you feel good after a long day. With tender chicken, fresh veggies, and all the cheesy goodness, it’s comfort food heaven! Let’s dive into what you’ll need and how to make it.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color you like)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups cooked pasta (penne works awesome)
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First things first, preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C). We need it nice and hot!
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the chicken and season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook that chicken for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s no longer pink.
- Now, throw in the chopped bell pepper and onion. Sauté everything together for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, salsa, and the chicken mixture. Stir that up real good!
- Next, transfer the whole mix into a baking dish. Top it off with that shredded cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and pop it in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and let it bake for another 10-15 minutes, until it’s bubbly and golden.
- When it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve it up on a plate or dig in straight from the baking dish—no judgement here! You’re gonna love the way those flavors come together. Enjoy this feast with your fam and friends. Happy cooking!
