Creamy Fajita Pasta Recipe

This Creamy Fajita Pasta with tender whole-wheat pasta, chicken, and bell peppers is an easy, healthy, and flavorful one-skillet meal.

Do you ever listen to Pandora? I am slightly addicted. There’s that phrase, “There’s an app for that,” but in my case, it’s more like, “There’s a Pandora station for that.”

I have a relaxation Pandora station full of The Piano Guys and instrumental hymns that I play while I write.

I have a soft praise and worship station that I listen to Sunday mornings and an energetic praise and worship station that I listen to in the shower.

I have a Pentatonix and Straight No Chaser station that I rock out to while I wash dishes at night and don’t even get me started on all of my various Christmas music stations (that I only play October through December).

There’s just something for every mood!

I love putting music on almost all the time, but especially when I cook. It’s way more fun to dance around the kitchen and toss ingredients into the pan with style than to just go through the motions.

So, that’s exactly what I did while I made this Creamy Fajita Pasta! And, in my professional opinion, I think you should do the same. Just another way to add a punch of joy to your day!

How To Make Creamy Fajita Pasta

Heat your oil in a skillet and cook your onions until they are nice and golden brown. Don’t rush it. I mean, it’ll taste fine, but when you get some color on there, it’s a game-changer!

Then cook your chicken and peppers for a minute and throw the rest of the ingredients into the skillet.

Stir it all up, cover it, bring it to a boil, and let the skillet work its magic.

Cook for about 15 minutes, until the pasta is tender.

And you have yourself a one-skillet complete meal – lean protein, veggies, whole grains…all the good, healthy stuff in a way that actually tastes good!

Do you have a favorite song you like to cook to? If you do, I want to hear it! I love expanding my music repertoire.
