Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta




Okay, all 3 readers of mine... I'm sorry I've been slacking. But I finally have a new recipe to share. Hope you all enjoy it!

Ingredients

1 package of pasta, your favorite kind (mine's bow tie)
2 chicken breasts
2-3 bell peppers of your choice
1/2 an onion - optional
1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup cream
1 TBS flour
1 package Taco Seasoning
Salt
1/2 a lime
Cilantro - optional

Slice your chicken in breast in half (vertical) then cut into strips/pieces. Place chicken in zip lock bag with taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lime, then toss to coat. Slice up your bell peppers and onions. In a skillet, with a little bit of e.v.o.o drizzled at the bottom, toss in your chicken over medium heat. At this point you can start boiling water for your pasta and cook accordingly. Let the chicken brown on both sides and then throw in your peppers, onions and broth. Continue to cook until chicken is cooked all the way through and peppers are semi soft and then add in your cream and flour. Whisk until well combined. Let it simmer until it begins to thicken. Drain your pasta and toss it in with your chicken and peppers. If it's not "saucy" enough for you, add more cream until desired consistency. Dish up and garnish with cilantro, if you're into that kind of thing...which I am!
