Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Add 2 1/2 tsp of salt and penne to the boiling water. Cook according to package directions.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and the oregano.
  • Cut the chicken across the short side to create strips.
  • Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the chicken.
  • Spread it out into a single layer.
  • Then add the sliced peppers.
  • 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.
  • Add the salsa, stir and cook for about 5 more min or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Stir in the sour cream.
  • Spoon cooked penne into a serving bowl or onto plates.
  • Top with the chicken mixture.
  • Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired, and a little of the shredded cheese.

The sauce was a little too thick for my liking. I added some milk and it thinned it out nicely.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra chili powder and cumin and it was much better.

I added a can of diced green chilies to the sauce and it gave it a nice kick. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the pasta was al dente.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was very tender.
