Directions
Mexican-Style Pasta With Chicken and Peppers,I just tried this yummy low calorie recipe. It was very quick and easy since used leftover chicken. Taken from Time Life’s Fast, Fresh and Delicious cookbook. After tasting it, I can guess that shredded cheese and red pepper flakes would also go very well with it. Hope you like it too!,Turned out great! Its on my food rotation list for now on!,I am a vegetarian so I modified this recipe some, but I think overall it is fantastic. I added more spices as others suggested and made it with kidney beans instead of the chicken. What a great change to regular pasta dishes. Thanks!
