Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
One 15-ounce (425-g) can crushed tomatoes
One 4-ounce (115-g) can diced green chiles, drained

1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 cup (100 g) freshly grated Pecorino or Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh green chiles for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh green chiles, you can use canned or frozen green chiles, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot. Just make sure it's big enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. If you're using a different type of pasta, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it's cooked through but still tender. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
  • Add the corn and black beans at the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with shredded cheese and salsa. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.

Conclusion:

One-pot green chile chicken pasta is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The pasta is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with green chiles, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes. The chicken, corn, and black beans add protein and texture to the dish. This pasta is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It's also a great meal to take to a potluck or party.
