Instead of 5 cups of milk I added 2 of chicken stock and 3 of milk... it gives you more flavor!

Add a tablespoon of light brown sugar after you’ve added the cheese. It really takes the edge off the spices and balances things out! My family won’t stop eating it!

I add fajita seasoning to the chicken and leave for 30 min before cooking. I also add double cream, to make it a little thick and creamy.

Wouldn’t add that much milk. Milk tends to evaporate too quickly to cook the pasta properly. Just add cooked pasta to the mix
