Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups penne pasta

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 cups cubed chicken

  • ½ cup salsa, divided

  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

  • ½ cup drained canned pinto beans

  • ½ cup canned corn

  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 2 cups crushed tortilla chips, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, 1/4 cup salsa, garlic, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until chicken is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cream of chicken soup, pinto beans, corn, and green chile peppers.

  4. Stir cooked penne and Cheddar cheese into the skillet until cheese is melted. Transfer to a baking dish; scatter tortilla chips on top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with remaining 1/4 cup salsa.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute frozen corn for the canned corn if desired.

Omit baking step if preferred.
