Directions
Pasta Chicken Taco Bake, This is a very tasty casserole, I have only made this using penne pasta, but you can of coarse use any kind of pasta that you desire, make certain to use a pasta that will hold up well when cooked a second time in the oven, and only cook the pasta until just fork-tender, as it will cook more in the oven, don’t cook it to the same texture that you would if you were using it immediately, just drop into boiling water and cook until JUST a bit tender If you are using low-sodium chicken broth in place of the water, make certain to season with salt and pepper (if using) towards the end of cooking in the frypan If you prefer a more spicy taste, then add in a finely chopped jalapeo pepper for extra heat! Serve this with a side salad , I made this last night for my husband and I I liked that this recipe is super easy, made with ingredients that one is pretty likely to have on hand, and doesn’t take all that long to make Since I didn’t have everything the recipe called for, I had to make some changes: WW angel hair pasta instead of penne, 2/3 c green olives as this is all I had, 3/4 c salsa, and only one 4 oz can of green chilies used ground chicken for this recipe With all that said, I enjoyed this recipe, and especially since it is so easy to put together and the ground chicken makes it a lightier dish but still very hearty, I will make this again in the future! My husband liked it and I think this will become part of our rotation, I will try to use black olives next time though, maybe even throw in some black beans It wasn’t AMAZING, but good for a quick dinner on a week night Thanks Kittencal!, I made this last night for my husband and I I liked that this recipe is super easy, made with ingredients that one is pretty likely to have on hand, and doesn’t take all that long to make Since I didn’t have everything the recipe called for, I had to make some changes: WW angel hair pasta instead of penne, 2/3 c green olives as this is all I had, 3/4 c salsa, and only one 4 oz can of green chilies used ground chicken for this recipe With all that said, I enjoyed this recipe, and especially since it is so easy to put together and the ground chicken makes it a lightier dish but still very hearty, I will make this again in the future!
