Chicken Fajita Pasta image

Fajitas meet pasta in this one-skillet marriage. Creamy and packed with peppers and onions, the whole meal can be made in just 30 minutes! A tortilla chip topping adds some surprising (and welcome) crunch.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 4), cut into 1/2-inch strips
3 medium red, green or yellow bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
8 ounces penne (see Cook's Note)
6 ounces cream cheese, cubed
4 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
3/4 cup crushed tortilla chips
Pico de gallo and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to high. Combine the chili powder, cumin and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl.
  • Heat the oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and chili powder mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until the chicken just starts to change color and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the peppers and onions and cook until they just begin to release some of their juices, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and 2 1/2 cups water to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it comes to a boil, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese until melted. Sprinkle the pepper jack and crushed chips over the top. Transfer to the broiler and cook until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.

CHICKEN FAJITAS



Chicken Fajitas image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 skinless chicken breast fillets, preferably organic
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, or regular oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon garlic flavored oil, plus 2 teaspoons
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons peanut oil or regular olive oil
2 onions, peeled, halved and cut into thin half-moons
8 soft flour tortillas
1 red bell pepper, cored and seeded, cut into strips
1 orange bell pepper, cored and seeded, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and seeded, cut into strips
1 cup grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
1 (7-ounce) can corn niblets, drained (or 2/3 cup drained canned corn)
1 large avocado (or 2 small), finely diced and dressed with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 to 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Hot chili sauce, to serve, optional

Steps:

  • Over a shallow bowl, cut the chicken with a pair of scissors into thin, lengthways, 1/4 to 1/2-inch strips. Halve the long strips across to give 2 shorter strips (to echo the size of the bell pepper strips). Don't get too hung up on precision, though; you're just trying to cut the chicken into uniform shapes.
  • Add the oregano, cumin, salt, sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic flavored oil, and the lime juice to the chicken. Stir to combine and let marinate while you get on with the onions and bell peppers. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F if you wish to warm your tortillas.
  • Warm the peanut or olive oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the onion slices over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  • Spread the tortillas out on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven to warm.
  • Add the bell pepper strips to the pan with the onion and cook for 10 minutes. When both the onions and peppers are tender, remove them to a bowl.
  • Warm the remaining 2 teaspoons garlic flavored oil in the pan over medium heat and add the chicken with its marinade. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Check that the chicken is piping hot and cooked through, then add the onions and bell peppers. Stir together, then transfer them to a serving dish.
  • Take the warmed tortillas out of the oven and put them on the table alongside the chicken mixture and all the other accoutrements. Wrap what you fancy in the tortillas and eat straightaway.
  • Make Ahead Note:
  • The onion and bell peppers can be cut 1 day in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The chicken can be cut 1 day in advance and tossed with the oregano, cumin and garlic flavored oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Add the lime juice and salt just before cooking.

2 large chicken breasts, finely sliced
1 red onion, finely sliced

bag mixed salad
230g tub fresh salsa

Provided by Mark A. Sheeler

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 5h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
4 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 bell peppers, sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Whisk chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder for fajita seasoning together in a small bowl.
  • Trim chicken of any excess fat and place in a large, lidded bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with about 3/4 of the fajita seasoning. Toss, adding more oil if necessary, until coated. Poke chicken with a knife to allow penetration of seasoning and oil. Place the lid on the bowl and shake until chicken is thoroughly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator, shaking every couple of hours, for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Remove the marinating bowl from the refrigerator and let sit on the counter until chicken is room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make 2 stacks of 4 tortillas, and wrap each one in aluminum foil.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and onion. Stir in remaining fajita seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While vegetables are cooking, place tortillas in the oven to warm. At the same time, grill chicken, turning halfway through, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • To assemble fajitas, fill warmed tortillas with chicken, peppers, and onions.
