Mexican Chicken Penne Pasta
1 package (16 oz.) penne pasta
2 cups cubed cooked chicken (if you want to be really speedy and easy about this, like me, use the Purdue Shortcuts chicken)
1 1/4 cups salsa con queso dip
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large tomato, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the chicken, queso dip, milk and salt together. Drain pasta; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat. Top with black beans, tomato, onions and cheese.
If you try it and like it (ohmyfriend, you will love it), I can't take credit for the recipe. Thanks to Suzanne and Carter for the goodness; Thursday nights are one of my favorite nights of the week because of them and their family! Plus, they have introduced us to some wonderful meals!

Patrick's Review:
ReplyDeleteFive out of five stars!
This dish is awesome for a number of reasons:
1. It has pasta
2. It has chicken and black beans
3. It has a kickin' cheese sauce
It's like an Italian dish mixed in with mexican goodness.
Thanks for making this for dinner baby!

Well, all I can say is I don't care if it has an identity crisis because it is so stinkin' good! The Davis household gives it 5 stars as well- it's now in the rotation! Thanks Kara!
