  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Add diced chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Sprinkle with fajita seasoning and cook until the chicken is no longer pink.

    Ensure chicken is cooked through for safety.
  4. Prepare Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat. Gradually whisk in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

    Keep stirring to avoid lumps.
  5. Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix the cooked pasta, chicken mixture, and cheese sauce until well combined. Serve warm.

    Top with sour cream and corn for extra flavor.
