ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast

- 1 small onion
- 1 bell pepper (whatever you like, green is a nice contrasting color)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt & pepper
directions
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot and begin cooking pasta.
- Heat oil in skillet. Cut the chicken in chunks and lightly brown with 1/2 pk of fajita seasoning, salt and pepper. Cut onion and pepper in strips (or diced) and cook with chicken.
- In a small saucepan, combine Alfredo sauce, the remainding fajita season, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper (use whisk to break up fajita seasoning in sauce). Simmer on med-low while pasta and chicken/vegetables cook.
- Drain pasta and return to large pot. Throw in the chicken and vegetables, followed by the sauce.
- Toss and serve!
- ** I like to throw on some diced pickled jalapenos in my bowl for some extra heat and flavor.
- ** For leftovers, try tossing in a dollop of sour cream and added hot sauce after reheating in the microwave. Mmm!
- ** Can easily be made vegetarian. Just omit the chicken and add more veggies! Yum!

This was fantastic!! I made a few changes, just to make it fit our diet (WW). I used 8 oz whole wheat pasta, rather than a pound. Used Newman's Own alfredo, and turned this into 4 portions, rather than 6. I think I might try making my own fajita seasoning (was a bit salty), but other than that, this was amazing! I topped it off with some green onion. Will definitely be making this again and again.

I love to cook and put my own spin on recipes. The hotter the better in my house! Entertaining is my forte and I'm a big fan of appetizer spreads.
