Tasty Tuesday: Easy Chicken Fajita Skillet Dinner

This yummy recipe is a staple in our home.  Credit goes to Chef Pam Price, who in my eyes is a culinary genious.  I love recipes that are quick and hearty and this one is both!

Easy Chicken Fajita Skillet Dinner:

2 cups diced, cooked chicken (I use store bought rotisserie chicken)
2 cups cooked penne or ziti pasta
1 tpsp oil
1 large onion cut in strips
1 large green pepper, cut into strips
1 can black beans, rinsed well in cold water and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 small can diced green chilies
1 can petite diced canned tomatoes
1 envelope taco seasoning, mixed with 1 cup of water

Garnishes:  shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and diced green onions

In a very large skillet, add the oil with the onion and green peppers.  Saute about 5 minutes or until onions are tender.  Add the chicken, cooked pasta, beans, corn, tomatoes, chilies and taco seasoning.  Stir well to blend.  Simmer 10 minutes or until flavors are well blended.  Serve in bowls to guests and let them top their own.  Also great served with warm cornbread on the side.  If you wish you can pour this into a casserole dish, top with cheese and bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
