1 onion, sliced evenly into thin strips
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, sliced evenly into thin strips
8 ounces penne noodles
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) fire roasted diced tomatoes
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup half and half
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fajita Seasoning: (I made a little extra.)

Directions: |
Directions:Stir together spices to make fajita seasoning mix.
Rub half of the seasoning into the chicken strips.
In a large wok, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the chicken is golden brown and cooked, remove and set aside.
In the same wok, add 2 more teaspoons of olive oil, followed by the onions and peppers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until they are soft and a little golden brown. Remove 1/2 of the pepper and onion mixture from the pan, and set aside with the chicken.
To the wok, add the dry pasta, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and the rest of the fajita seasoning mix. Stir well. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer for 12 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
Then turn the heat to medium high, and add in the half and half, cheese, cooked chicken, peppers, and onion. Stir all together constantly for a few minutes to let the sauce thicken up a bit. |
