One-Pot Chicken Fajita Pasta

Step 1

Season chicken with 3/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp chili powder and 1/4 tsp garlic powder.

Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet.

When the oil is hot, add the onions, bell peppers, and remaining 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp chili powder and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add minced garlic, and stir until fragrant and well combined, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Remove from heat and transfer to the plate with the chicken.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the broth, diced tomatoes and uncooked pasta. Stir to combine and bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes until pasta is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.

Step 8

Add the chicken and veggies back into the skillet and stir to combine until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Mix in the sour cream and top with scallions and cilantro. Serve with avocado on top.
