Directions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  2. 2Dice the chicken, onion and peppers.
  3. 3Add everything into a large ovenproof dish except the mozzarella. That’s pasta, chicken, veg, cream cheese, garlic, fajita seasoning, chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper.
  4. 4Rinse out the chopped tomato tin with 100ml water and pour it into the dish.
  5. 5Mix everything really well so it’s evenly coated.
  6. 6Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the top.
  7. 7Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 190°C.
  8. 8Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes to melt and colour the cheese.
  9. 9Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the sauce thickens and the pasta soaks everything up.
