Last nights dinner was another hit. Very simple! Mexican Chicken and Pasta Skillet.

First thing I did was cook my spiral pasta. Cooked it according to the directions on the package. While I was cooking that I got the rest prepared. Now, normally I would have used grilled or baked chicken, but last night I was in a hurry. For my chicken I used premium white chicken in a pouch. Put it in a skillet and heated it up. Once it was good and hot, I added a 16 oz jar of salsa, a can of corn a block of cream cheese (cut up) and 2 T of taco seasoning. I mixed it all together really well. Keep mixing until the cream cheese is melted. Once it's melted, add the pasta and a good handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix it up really well until the cheese is melted and it's heated through. I served it with some refried beans and tortilla chips.

Just for some added fun, here is how I do my refried beans. I put about 3 T of butter in a pan with some chopped up onion. Once the onion is golden, I add a small can of mild green chilli and the refried beans. Mix well and let heat up. Once they are good and hot I had about 1/2 a bag of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix it in until it's all melted and serve. I know, I know, it's full of fat, but I think it's ok to have once in a while in moderation.

Well, I hope you enjoy these recipes. They really are easy. Still am unsure what I want for dinner tonight. Chicken or steak on the grill. Hummmmmm
Enjoy my friend,
Kathy!
