Chicken Enchilada Pasta

Found this recipe on Pintrest and just had to try it. I love me some Chicken Enchiladas and I love me some good pasta. This little beauty has both! I present to you:


Chicken Enchilada Pasta

3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp fresh minced garlic
1 onion, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 can (4oz) chopped green chilies
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
2 cans (10 oz each) green enchilada sauce
2/3 cup red enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 cup sour cream
4 cups Penne Pasta


Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Cook onions, garlic & bell pepper for about 5 minutes.
In a large stockpot cook pasta according to directions while you complete the next steps.
Add chicken, chili's, cumin, salt, chili powder, & enchilada sauces to onions. Bring to a boil then simmer about 10 minutes.
Turn the heat off and add the cheese. Stir just until melted. Add in sour cream and mix well.
Drain pasta and then add the chicken mix to the pasta. Mix well.
Serve with extra sour cream, guacamole or chopped green onions.


Looks good don't it??
