Ingredients

  • 2 cups rotini pasta

  • 2 cups cubed deli rotisserie chicken

  • 1 (9 ounce) pouch Progresso™ Recipe Starters™ creamy three cheese cooking sauce

  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can Old El Paso® diced green chiles, undrained

  • 1 cup shredded taco-flavored cheese

Garnishes, if desired:

  • ½ teaspoon Diced red bell pepper

  • ½ teaspoon Sliced ripe olives

  • ½ tablespoon Tortilla chips

Directions

  1. In 12-inch skillet, heat 3 cups water to boiling; add pasta. Cook 8 to 9 minutes or until pasta is tender; drain and return to skillet.

  2. Add chicken, cooking sauce and chiles; heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; let stand 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with bell pepper, olives and tortilla chips.

Tips

For on-hand convenience, purchase a rotisserie chicken, and remove all the meat. Chop and place 2-cup portions in resealable freezer plastic bags. Keep frozen until you need them.

Change it up with a different pasta shape like penne or ziti.
