Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with garlic powder, Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, crushed oregano, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Add Veggies: Stir in the diced vegetables and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add the chopped spinach and the can of Rotel, cooking until the spinach wilts.
Combine Everything: Lower the heat and add the cheese sauce to the skillet, stirring until everything is well combined. Gently fold in the cooked pasta until evenly coated.
Top and Serve: Transfer the pasta mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and crushed Doritos if using. Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, flavorful dish!
