I feel like this pasta recipe is my Mona Lisa, the dish that took me three months to perfect, but now it’s a masterpiece!

I tried spaghetti noodles, penne pasta and pasta shells, I used various amounts of hot sauce, chicken broth and spices, I used diced chicken, sliced chicken and ground chicken, but I did not give up until the perfect One Pot Chicken Fajita Pasta was created! And now here it is, in all it’s glory!

I can now say that I created the Mona Lisa of One Pot Chicken Fajita Pastas!

Can I get a plaque or trophy or something?! I can see it now, I’m standing on stage at “The Foodies” (a totally made-up food blogger award show similar to The Oscars) accepting my “Mona Lisa” award for One Pot Chicken Fajita Pasta. Hahaha!

I should probably quit typing before I admit how much I actually have thought about this made up food blogger award show and receiving an award, much like I planned on receiving a Grammy as a little girl, until I entered a talent show, played back the video and heard myself sing, eeeeeekkkk!

It’s a good thing I picked up cooking at a young age, that seems to have worked out much better for me!

Without further ado (or rambling!) let’s make this now infamous One Pot Chicken Fajita Pasta!
