Chicken Fajita Spaghetti

I saw a Chicken Fajita Spaghetti recipe on the Taste of Home website. Great idea.
I decided to make some changes since I know what my family likes.





1/2 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 small red bell pepper cut into strips
1/2 small green bell pepper cut into strips
1/2 small orange pepper, cut into strips
1/2 small orange pepper cut into strips
1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup Picante sauce
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning, divided in half
Fresh chopped cilantro

8 ounces spaghetti, cooked and drained (whole wheat or regular)

In a big skillet heat the oil. Cook the chicken sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon fajita seasoning and cooking until no longer pink. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes, Add the garlic and peppers and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Stir in the Picante sauce, water and remaining fajita seasoning into the chicken mixture and combine well. Cook for a couple of minutes and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

Serve over hot cooked spaghetti.

Makes 4 servings

Note: Sprinkle some shredded Cheddar cheese if desired
