Cheesy chicken fajita pasta bake
Directions
- 1Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- 2Dice the chicken, onion and peppers.
- 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.
- 4Rinse out the chopped tomato tin with 100ml water and pour it into the dish.
- 5Mix everything really well so it’s evenly coated.
- 6Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the top.
- 7Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 190°C.
- 8Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes to melt and colour the cheese.
- 9Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the sauce thickens and the pasta soaks everything up.
- 10Serve and enjoy.
