My sister
requested that I make this Rotel Chicken Pasta and since it was such a hit with
her I decided to share it with you. I have to admit it is GOOD. I mean
close your eyes and savor every bite good.
This dish is not hard to make but does
require prepared chicken. If you want to cut back on prep time suggest using a
rotisserie chicken from the deli section of your grocery store. Another fast
option would be purchasing a package of precooked chicken from the freezer
section.
No matter how you decide to prepare it this is pure comfort food. It will make your heart smile.
Recipe
What
You’ll Need
3-4
boneless skinless chicken breast (or rotisserie)
1 medium bell pepper (diced)
1 medium onion (diced)
2-3 cloves of garlic (finely diced or grated or ½ teaspoon of
garlic powder)
1 tablespoon butter
1 package penne pasta or 8-10 oz. spaghetti
1 can cream of chicken soup (10 ¾ oz.)
1 can Rotel with diced chilies (10 oz.)
8-10 oz. of Velveeta cheese cubed
½ cup of shredded cheddar
Nonstick cooking spray
Putting It
All Together
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Prepare pasta according to package directions (I always add salt
and olive oil to the pot when make pasta just a little trick I learned watching
Rachel Ray.)
Cube or shred the cooked chicken
In large skillet over medium heat melt butter add chicken diced
bell pepper, onion and garlic cook until there is not liquid left in the
skillet
Stir in soup, cubed Velveeta and Rotel Tomatoes. Reduce heat to
low, and cook until the cheese melts, stirring constantly.
Once cheese melts stir in pasta and add to a lightly greased 9x13
casserole dish treated (I lined my with aluminum foil and then treated it with
nonstick cooking spray. I hate scrubbing dishes!)
Top with shredded cheese
Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until heated through.
I usually
serve this pasta with a green salad and warm crispy garlic bread.
Happy Cooking Y’all!
