Chicken Fajita Mac and Cheese

Name: Chicken Fajita Mac and Cheese
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 500g macaroni; 2 cups chicken stock; 1/2 cup heavy cream; 1 packet fajita seasoning; 1 tsp salt; 3 diced chicken breast; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 small finely diced onion; 2 finely diced red pepper; 2 cloves minced garlic; 1 cup cheddar cheese; garnish chopped parsley

This creamy, one-pan wonder blends tender chicken fajitas with rich, velvety mac and cheese, creating a bold fusion of smoky spices and sharp cheddar. The dish balances tender strips of marinated chicken, charred bell peppers, and onions against a luxuriously smooth cheese sauce, all tied together by a hint of tangy lime and earthy cumin. A splash of white wine deepens the flavor before the liquid hits, ensuring every bite is layered with depth and warmth. Worth the effort for its ability to satisfy both weeknight cravings and weekend indulgence without sacrificing an ounce of flavor.
