A creamy, Tex-Mex inspired pasta dish featuring seasoned chicken, sautéed peppers, and a luscious cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pasta
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced chicken and seasonings. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through.
  4. Add sliced bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until vegetables are tender.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and cooked pasta, mixing well to combine.
  6. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve hot and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Any short pasta works best as the sauce clings well. Use gluten-free pasta if needed. For a lighter option, use half-and-half plus a tablespoon of butter.
