Southwestern Chicken Pasta




Source of Recipe


I think I got my inspiration from a recipe that I found on the Mayo Clinic website, but I tinkered with it a bit to make it my own.






Recipe Introduction


This is really freaking good. Really.





List of Ingredients



• 1 chicken breast
  
• 1 clove garlic (pressed)
  
• 1 can tomato sauce
  
• 1 cup salsa
  
• 1 can corn, drained
  
• 1 can black beans, drained
  
• chili powder
  
• cayenne pepper
  
• cheddar cheese
  
• penne pasta (I prefer whole wheat) - cooked
  






Instructions



1. Cube chicken breast. Saute with garlic in a little bit of olive oil until cooked through and browned on the outside.
   
2. Add tomato sauce, salsa, beans, and corn. Add chili powder and cayenne to taste. Heat on medium-low heat until warmed through.
   
3. Serve over cooked penne pasta and top with cheddar cheese.
   






Final Comments


Goes well with margaritas.
