Time 1h7m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ziti pasta
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 pound boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in ziti and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and green pepper. Cook and stir until soft, 5 to 7 minutes; remove from skillet. Place chicken into the skillet; cook and stir until no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine salsa, cream cheese, and taco seasoning in a saucepan over low heat: cook until cream cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ziti, chicken, salsa mixture, black beans, corn, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Add 8 ounces Cheddar cheese; mix until combined. Pour into a baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven; top with remaining Cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

This was the best chicken fajita pasta bake I've ever had! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the veggies were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I had to add some sour cream to tone it down.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and tough, and the pasta was overcooked. The sauce was also bland and lacked flavor.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the pasta was a bit too al dente for my taste. The sauce was also a bit bland.
