A quick meal with lots of flavors!! Ingredients:
3 teaspoons salt |
12 ounces penne pasta |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
16 ounces salsa (about 2 cups at your desired spice level) |
1 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional) |
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Add 2 1/2 tsp of salt and penne to the boiling water. Cook according to package directions.
3. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and the oregano.
4. Cut the chicken across the short side to create strips.
5. Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over high heat.
6. When the oil is hot, add the chicken.
7. Spread it out into a single layer.
8. Then add the sliced peppers.
9. Cook without stirring for about 5 min - you would like the chicken to brown a little bit. If it seems as if it will burn, stir it.
10. Add the salsa, stir and cook for about 5 more min or until the chicken is cooked through.
11. Remove the skillet from the heat.
12. Stir in the sour cream.
13. Spoon cooked penne into a serving bowl or onto plates.
14. Top with the chicken mixture.
15. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired, and a little of the shredded cheese.
