Fajita Chicken Pasta

Instructions:

  1. In a mini food processor, combine the lime juice, cumin, jalapeno, cayenne pepper (if desired), paprika, oregano, sukrin gold, salt, olive oil (or spray oil), crushed garlic, and a little salt. Pulse the mixture a few times until you get a paste.
  2. Coat the chicken thoroughly with the paste, cover and refrigerate for a few hours to marinade.
  3. Cook the pasta until it is al dente, drain and set aside (reserving some of the pasta water).
  4. Spray a frying pan with avocado spray oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken mixture and cook, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  5. Add the peppers, onion, and courgette (zucchini) to the same frying pan and stir constantly until the vegetables are cooked but still crisp.
  6. Add the chicken back to the pan, along with the tomato paste and reserved pasta water.
  7. Add the cooked pasta and mix everything together until the sauce lightly coats the pasta and is heated through.
  8. Season as needed with salt and black pepper, and top with freshly chopped coriander.
  9. Serve with your choice of sides and toppings.
  10. Enjoy!
