Ingredients

2 medium size chicken breasts thinly sliced
1 onion thinly sliced
1 yellow pepper de-seeded and thinly sliced
1 red pepper de-seeded and thinly sliced
2 tbsp fajita seasoning mix
2.5 cups dried pasta (230g)
10 sprays no calorie oil Frylight / Pam

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan according to the packet instructions and once cooked, drain thoroughly.
Whilst the pasta is cooking, thinly slice the chicken, sprinkle over the fajita mix and toss so that all of the chicken is covered in the spices. Set aside.
Thinly slice the peppers and onions.
Heat a large non stick frying pan over a high heat with 10 sprays of no calorie oil. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, stirring all the time until they start to colour. Add the onions and peppers and stir continuously over a high heat for 5 - 7 minutes until all the ingredients are brown.
If the fajita mix starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, add a couple of tablespoons of water and scrape with a wooden spoon (so that it doesn't continue to cook and burn). You want the fajita mix to have a bit of a charred look but you do not want it to burn!
Check that the chicken is thoroughly cooked through by cutting the biggest piece that you can find in half and checking the inside.
Take off the heat, add 1 tablespoon of water and give the mix a final stir before adding it to the cooked pasta. Return the pan to the heat and warm through.
