Print Options
Description
I created this recipe when I couldn’t decide what I was craving more- pasta or Mexican food. Also, this recipe is Weight Watcher friendly but tasty enough for everyone.
Ingredients
- 1 box Ronzoni Smart Taste Penne
- Olive Oil Spray
- 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Sliced Thinly
- 2 cups Chicken Breast Cut Into 1 Inch Pieces
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1-½ teaspoon Cumin
- 1-½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1-½ teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Fat Free Sour Cream
- 1 can Corn
- ½ cups Reduced Fat Mexican Shredded Cheese
Preparation
-Prepare pasta as directed on the box.
-Meanwhile, spray a large pan with cooking spray and saute the onion for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Add the bell pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes more. (You are just cooking until tender-crisp)
-Put pepper and onion aside and add chicken to the pan. Stir around.
-Mix all seasonings and sprinkle half over the chicken. Cook until cooked through.
-Add half of the remaining seasonings and the sour cream to the chicken pan and turn heat to low. Toss to coat evenly.
-Add the corn, peppers and onion to the chicken mixture. Toss to coat. Add the pasta, toss again.
-You may add the rest of the seasoning (mix well) to taste if you like, add a few dashes of hot sauce if you enjoy your food with a kick, or sprinkle a bit of shredded cheese on top before serving

I made this for my family the other night. It was really good! My kids loved it and asked to eat the leftovers the next day–now that’s saying somethin’! I linked to this recipe on the co-op cooking blog I am part of- whatsinyouroven.blogspot.com.
