Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta
  1. Combine chili powder, cumin, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Mexican oregano in a small bowl for the seasoning blend. Season chicken with half of the seasoning; reserve remaining seasoning for later.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

  3. Heat remaining oil in the same pot. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup chicken broth and salsa, scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

  4. Add milk and dry pasta to the pot and stir to combine. Add chicken and bell peppers on top and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a light simmer and cook, gently stirring every 4 to 5 minutes, until pasta is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Try and keep noodles as submerged as possible while cooking. If the consistency becomes too thick, add a bit more chicken broth.

  5. Season with remaining seasoning blend, to taste. Stir in Mexican cheese and combine until melted. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.
