Chicken Fajita Mac and Cheese Recipe

Name: Chicken Fajita Mac and Cheese
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 21 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: United States
Ingredients: 500g macaroni; 2 cups chicken stock; 1/2 cup heavy cream; 1 packet fajita seasoning; 1 tsp salt; 3 diced chicken breast; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 small finely diced onion; 2 finely diced red pepper; 2 cloves minced garlic; 1 cup cheddar cheese; garnish chopped parsley

This dish brings together the creamy comfort of mac and cheese with the smoky, spiced notes of chicken fajitas, all cooked in one pot. Diced chicken and vegetables are sautéed, then simmered with macaroni in a rich blend of chicken stock and cream, infused with fajita seasoning. The pasta cooks directly in the sauce, absorbing all those flavors, and finishes with a generous stir of cheddar cheese. It's a straightforward meal that comes together quickly, with the pasta simmering right in the sauce for about 20 minutes.
