Chicken Fajita Pasta is my new favorite dinner!

It’s delicious, filling and low in points.

Only 3 points per serving for blue and purple (could be less for purple if using whole wheat pasta) and 5 points per serving for green.

Each serving is 1 1/2 cups. You could easily double the serving and it’s still low in points!

Here’s what you need to make Chicken Fajita Pasta:

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Onion
  • Green pepper
  • Red pepper
  • Fajita seasoning
  • Diced tomatoes with chilies
  • Half & half
  • Penne pasta

You can always mix up the peppers if you prefer orange or yellow, you need two peppers for the recipe.

For the fajita seasoning I just used store bought. You could also make your own if you’d like.

I made homemade fajita seasoning for my One Pan Chicken Fajitas. That recipe is 0 points for blue and purple.

If you don’t like your food a little spicy you can use regular diced tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes with chilies.

Sour cream, cilantro and green onions make great toppings for this dish! Just be sure to add any extra points for the sour cream.

I used penne pasta for this dish because it’s my favorite. You can use any type of pasta you want, just make sure to weigh it. Bow tie pasta would work great too!
