Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cups milk
4 cups penne pasta
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken strips until browned and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
  • Cook red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and sliced in the pot until peppers are tender and onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken back to the pot. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat chicken and vegetables evenly with seasonings.
  • Pour milk into the pot and stir in pasta. Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce thickens and pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir Cheddar cheese into the pasta mixture until cheese is melted. Serve in bowls topped with sliced green onions.

I thought this was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland for my taste and the chicken was a little dry. I'll try it again with some different seasonings.

Not bad. The pasta was a little overcooked for my taste but the sauce was really good. I'll try it again with a different pasta.

This pasta has so much going for it. It's a one-pot meal so there's minimal clean-up. It has a great combination of textures and the sauce is flavorful without being spicy. I served with sour cream and shredded cheese and my family went nuts for it.
