Ingredients

  • 1 lb of chicken breast cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp each of cumin and dried cilantro
  • 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups of elbow macaroni
  • 10 oz can of Rotel not drained
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-heat. Add 1 tbsp of oil, the chicken, and a chopped onion.
  • Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and dried cilantro.
  • Once the chicken is pretty much cooked through, add the minced garlic, elbow macaroni, chicken broth, Rotel, and a can of tomato sauce.
  • Stir everything together well and bring to a quick boil.
  • Once you see bubbles, turn the heat down to medium low. Cover with a lid and cook for about 12 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Stir at least once about half way through to keep the pasta from sticking to the skillet.
  • Finally, add the shredded cheese and milk, stir, and let sit until the cheese is melted. Serve and top with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
