Chicken Fajita Pasta

"This is one of those recipes you make up by accident. I found some chili pepper flavored pasta, and had to try it, then had to figure out what to do with it. This is what I came up with using ingredients I always have around. If you can't find Chili Pepper pasta, use regular, or feel free to sub another flavor."

  1. This was really good. I did use my fajita seasoning on this. I served this on my homemade roasted poblano noodles & made garlic lime crema for the topping. Thanks!
     
  2. I've never seen chili pepper pasta but will definitely be on the lookout now! This recipe was really beyond my expectations. DH doesn't like spaghetti noodles in anything, but I thought they would look the best with the slices of chicken, onion & peppers (I used green, red & orange bell peppers) & to my surprise he said that this is the first recipe he's ever enjoyed spagetti noodles with! I didn't have any quacamole left, used my own homemade taco seasoning recipe (chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder and dried onion flakes) & I really wouldn't change anything, but would like to try Recipe #28011 that I have made up with this next time. We'll make this one again as it's super quick & easy for a weeknight menu! Thanks, Emmy! Made for ZWT 5 - Ali Baba's Babes. :)

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food. I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/teambanner1.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/babes_banner.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/ParticipationBanner.jpg"border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/Dollar%20Contest/DiningonaDollarParticipant.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/banner2009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"width=100%> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/craze-e2banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/calendar%20clips/3Craze-E.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
