Chicken fajita pasta | Sainsbury's Recipes image

Everyone loves a fajita, but we’ve removed the wraps and given it a pasta twist – great for dinner and even better cold for lunch

Provided by Sainsbury's

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

smoked paprika
chilli powder
ground cumin
cayenne pepper
garlic powder
chicken breasts, cut into strips
olive oil
penne pasta
red onion, sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
tomato puree
tomato salsa
low-fat sour cream
reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Mix together the smoked paprika, chilli, cumin, cayenne and garlic powder. Rub half into the chicken pieces. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large deep frying pan and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes until golden all over and almost cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

    Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Drain well and set aside, reserving a little of the cooking water.

    Heat the remaining oil in the pan and cook the onion along with the remaining spice mix for 3-4 minutes until tender. Season, then add the peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just soft.

    Add the chicken back to the pan along with the tomato puree. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the cooked pasta, salsa and sour cream. Heat through, and if the sauce needs loosening, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach a desired consistency. Sprinkle over the cheese to serve.

On days I get home late from the hospital, I'm glad this main dish comes together easily in one skillet. Sometimes, I make it ahead in the morning and refrigerate. It's so quick to just sprinkle on the cheese and reheat it for dinner.—Cindy Gage, Blair, Nebraska
