Ingredients
- 1/2 lb fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 1 packet Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green pepper, sliced thin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- Salt and pepper
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Preparation
Step 1
1
In a sturdy pot, cook fettuccine until it’s al dente in salted water. Drain pasta and toss pasta with cold water to stop the cooking.
2
In the same pot, add olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a large spoon or tongs to break up chicken as it cooks.
3
Add taco seasoning to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of water. Then add onions, peppers and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until veggies start to soften.
4
Stir in tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper.
5
Add cooked fettuccine back into the pot and stir to combine. If the mixture looks dry, add water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce is smooth.
6
Top pasta with grated cheese, turn heat down to very low, and cover the pot for one minute to melt cheese. Serve pasta garnished with fresh cilantro.
