8 -10 oz penne pasta (cooked to only firm-tender, drained and set aside)
2 lbs uncooked ground chicken
1 large onion, chopped
1 tbsp fresh minced garlic (optional or to taste, but good to use !)
1 1/2 cups water ( more if needed , can use low-sodium chicken broth in place of if desired, or use half of each)
1 (1 oz) package taco seasoning mix (or use my own kittencal's )
2 (11 oz) cans whole kernel corn
2 1/2 cups sliced pitted olives (use the large green pimento-stuffed, also you can use black )
3 cups grated cheddar cheese (or to taste)
1 1/4 cups salsa (or to taste)
2 (4 oz) cans green chili peppers, drained
salt and pepper (optional)
1 small green bell pepper, chopped (optional)

Directions:

Grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
In a skillet cook the ground chicken with onion and garlic until brown.
Stir in water (or chicken broth if using) and taco seasoning mix; bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 10-12 minutes stirring occasionally.
Stir in cooked pasta, corn, olives and half of the shredded cheese, salsa, chile peppers and green bell pepper (if using); mix to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a prepared baking dish.
Set oven to 350°F.
Bake covered for about 35 minutes, then remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Return to oven and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes.
DELICIOUS!
