How to Make Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to medium. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and cream cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until cream cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
- Stir in cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions (optional).
