Method

1. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until seared on all sides.
2. Add the seasoning: Add half the fajita seasoning and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Add the vegetables: Add the onion, capsicum and remaining fajita seasoning. Stir to combine and continue cooking until the vegetables begin to soften.

5. Make it creamy: Reduce the frying pan to low heat. Add the light cream cheese and a splash of the reserved pasta water, stirring until smooth and creamy.
6. Combine: Add the drained pasta and baby spinach to the pan. Stir until everything is well combined and the spinach has wilted.
