#1343 - Skillet Chicken and Pasta

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups cooked penne pasta
1lb. boneless/skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 1/4 cups chunky salsa (mild, medium or hot)
1 cup canned whole kernel corn (drained)
1 green bell pepper (washed and chopped)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
salt and pepper

Cook and drain pasta according to box directions--set aside. In a greased skillet over medium heat add chicken pieces. Salt and pepper chicken to your taste, then brown chicken. Add salsa, corn and chopped green pepper to the chicken--stir and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat back to simmer, then simmer for 15 minutes while lightly stirring. Add drained pasta to chicken mixture--stir. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top--put a lid on and keep heat on simmer until cheese melts.
