Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta

    This was a hit with the Family!
    I made 12 servings.......we have a big family & plus my Husband LOVES leftovers.

    The only Fajita seasoning I was able to find was McCormick foil envelopes. used 2 of them, I felt it was still a little underseasoned so I added some Cajun seasoning as well. (You're right, they are VERY similar) Next time I will add a bit more Half & Half.......wanted a more creamy sauce. But regardless, this is a GREAT recipe & I will for sure be keeping this one.

    Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta, Ok, I know that this recipe uses Cajun seasonings, not fajita seasonings, but I’m sure you could substitute if you want – I find them very similar anyway This recipe was inspired by the very popular Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta recipe #39087 Every time I made it, I tweaked it more and more until it really is a different recipe now I hope you enjoy it , This was a hit with the Family!
