📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
3
In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil over high heat. Add half of the chicken in a single layer. Cook until deep golden, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes, then stir and cook until golden on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining chicken and repeat.
4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil to the drippings in the pot. Add the garlic, bell pepper, poblano, red onion, mushrooms, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a plate.
5
Add the chicken broth to the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and cook for a couple of minutes until slightly reduced.
6
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the heavy cream, adobo sauce, and the remaining 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to ⏱️ 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
7
Return the chicken and vegetables to the pot. Add the pasta and cook, tossing, until coated and heated through, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Serve topped with cilantro.
