30-Minute Dinner Recipes Are Important for Families

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a busier season of life. I mean, yes, when I ran my bakery business I was constantly on the go, but motherhood is a whole different kind of busy. Between a baby who never wants to be put down, a toddler with activities, church events, school functions, playdates, and a house that somehow always needs cleaning, I honestly don’t know where the days go. Most nights, I have to choose between getting some sleep or staying up to work on my blog.

That’s exactly why easy, healthy meals have become such a priority in our house.

Over the past several months, we’ve made a big shift in the way we eat. Our goal isn’t perfection, but creating healthier habits and setting a good example for our kids. One thing we’ve committed to is sitting down together for dinner every single night. We’ve been doing it since January, and it’s become one of my favorite parts of the day. After everyone has been running in different directions, it’s the one time we all slow down, connect, and enjoy a meal together.

Because of that, I need recipes that are quick to make, easy to clean up, and delicious enough that everyone actually wants to eat them.

We Make this Creamy Fajita Pasta Recipe WEEKLY!

This One Pot Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta has become a weekly dinner in our house. It’s packed with protein, loaded with vegetables, and everything comes together in one Dutch oven (or pan), which means cleanup is just as easy as the cooking. We switch it up all the time by using shrimp or steak instead of chicken or changing the type of pasta depending on what we have in the pantry, and it’s always a hit. It has quickly become one of those dependable family dinners we know we’ll keep making again and again.

I keep telling myself that the next time we make this recipe, I’ll pull out the fancy camera and take prettier photos… but let’s be honest, it’s probably not happening anytime soon. 😂 So I’m sharing it anyway because I really want you to try it! Maybe one day, when life slows down a little, I’ll come back and swap these photos out for prettier ones.

Right now, these days are full of babies, toddlers, family dinners, and squeezing in about 15 minutes to write a blog post whenever I can. And honestly? That’s okay. The recipe is too good to keep waiting on perfect pictures…watch the video of this recipe below to see how good it looks in action!!

Ingredients for Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta:

Chicken breast
Bell peppers
Yellow onion
Zucchini
Plain Greek yogurt
Siete Fajita Seasoning
Garlic powder
Black pepper
Pasta of choice (use gluten-free for a completely gf dinner!)

Optional for serving:

Fresh cilantro
Lime wedges
Shredded cheddar cheese
Sliced avocado

Rice instead of Pasta:

My son has never liked the texture of pasta, so we don’t force it. We believe he’ll come around to it when he’s ready. Instead, we serve his dinner with the chicken and fajita vegetables alongside a side of rice, and he’s just as happy. If you have a pasta skeptic in your house too, don’t be afraid to deconstruct the meal. Sometimes a simple change in how you serve it makes all the difference, and it still allows everyone to enjoy the same family dinner together.

How to Make the EASIEST Creamy Fajita Pasta in 30-Minutes:

Heat a large Dutch oven (or your regular large frying pan) over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften but still have a little bite.
Stir in the diced chicken breast and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 Degrees.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt, Siete Fajita Seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder until everything is evenly coated.
Add the cooked pasta and gently toss until the sauce is creamy and all of the ingredients are well combined.
Serve warm and top with shredded cheese, a scoop of guacamole, and fresh cilantro if desired.

How I Like the Leftovers…

I love topping mine with a little shredded cheddar and a big scoop of guacamole. The creaminess from the guacamole takes this pasta to the next level!

One of my favorite things about making this recipe is the leftovers. I purposely make a big batch because it tastes just as good the next day. For breakfast or lunch, I’ll scramble a bowl of eggs with cottage cheese and mix in a scoop of the leftover chicken and vegetables. It makes such a delicious, high-protein meal and is a great way to use up every last bite!

I know it seems like a strange pairing, but we drizzle our favorite primal kitchen yum yum sauce on top!
