Chicken Enchilada Pasta

A hearty pasta dish featuring chicken and enchilada sauces, topped with cheese and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

  • penne pasta (454 grams)
  • olive oil (30 ml)
  • onion (1 )
  • red bell pepper (1 )
  • garlic (2 )
  • cooked chicken breasts (2 )
  • green enchilada sauce (580 grams)
  • red enchilada sauce (160 ml)
  • diced green chiles (113 grams)
  • chili powder (2 teaspoons)
  • ground cumin (5 grams)
  • salt (3 grams)
  • shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese (226 grams)
  • sour cream (240 ml)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir red bell pepper and garlic into onion; sauté until fragrant and softened, another 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. 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 cheese and stir until melted and heated through, 1 to 3 minutes.
  4. 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.
