One-Pan Monterey Chicken Pasta
Description
One-Pan Monterey Chicken Pasta brings together pasta and cooked chicken in a flavorful tomato and broth base enhanced by the addition of green chiles from canned diced tomatoes. Cooking everything in a single skillet allows the bowtie pasta to simmer and absorb moisture, resulting in a tender texture enriched by the chicken broth. The final stir-in of barbecue sauce lends a smoky, sweet tang that complements the chicken and bacon. Once the cheese melts over the hot pasta, the dish is topped with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions for a crunchy, savory finish.
This pasta is a comforting, all-in-one dish ideal for a simple dinner where minimal cleanup is desired. It can be served alone or with a light salad for a complete meal. The use of rotisserie chicken reduces prep time while maintaining protein content.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces bowtie pasta (or other small pasta)
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles undrained
- 2 1/2 /2 cups chicken broth (I like better than Bouillon base)
- 2 cups chicken shredded rotisserie
- 1/2 /2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese or cheddar cheese; shredded
- 4 Bacon cooked and crumbled, strips
- 2 tablespoons green onion sliced
Instructions
- In a 12-inch skillet, add the pasta, tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook pasta for 10-15 minutes, stirring every once in a while to make sure all parts of the pasta are covered and cooking.
- Once pasta is tender, remove lid, stir in the chicken, and heat for a couple of minutes until heated through and excess liquid is evaporated.
- Stir in BBQ sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and cover with lid until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with bacon and green onions. Serve immediately!
