Chicken Enchilada Pasta image

I thought this would make a delicious alternative from our usual enchiladas or tacos and I was right. We love this! The sauce is so flavorful! It also makes some fabulous leftovers! Run, don't walk, to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients for this yumminess as soon as you can! Top with avocado, green onion, black olives, tomatoes, and sour cream.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded, or more to taste
2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce
⅔ cup red enchilada sauce
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot.
  • Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir red bell pepper and garlic into onion; saute until fragrant and softened, another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir chicken, green enchilada sauce, red enchilada sauce, diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, and salt into onion mixture; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until flavors blend, 8 to 10 minutes. Add Colby-Jack cheese and stir until melted and heated through, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir sour cream into enchilada mixture; cook and stir until heated through. Pour enchilada mixture over penne pasta and toss to coat completely.

This dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll try using less cheese next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my dish turned out really soupy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

The pasta was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

I would have liked the chicken to be more tender. I think I'll try cooking it for a longer period of time next time.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some cooked chicken in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up. The dish turned out great!
