Additional Notes:

Ingredient Substitutions: If you're missing an ingredient or want to try a variation, there are plenty of ways to make this recipe your own. For example, you can use shrimp instead of chicken, add in some black beans for extra protein, or swap out the heavy cream for Greek yogurt.

Cooking Tips: To make this recipe even easier, there are a few cooking tips you can keep in mind. For instance, cook the pasta and chicken simultaneously to save time, use pre-cut veggies for convenience, and make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it.

Serving Suggestions: Chicken Fajita Pasta is a versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. For example, you can top it with shredded cheese, sliced avocado, or cilantro for added flavour and texture. It can also be served with a side salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal.

Storage and Reheating: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, simply microwave the pasta until heated through, stirring occasionally to distribute the sauce.

Nutrition Information: While Chicken Fajita Pasta is a tasty and satisfying meal, it's important to keep in mind its nutritional content. Depending on the specific ingredients used, the dish can range from moderate to high in calories, fat, and sodium. Consider portion sizes and balance out the meal with plenty of veggies and other nutritious foods throughout the day.
