Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tsp if using Thai chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 5 cups milk
  • 4 cups dry Penne pasta, (400 grams)
  • 1 cup Pepper Jack cheese, or Monterey Jack, shredded

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the oil on medium heat, add the chicken and cook, stirring often until no longer pink. Remove chicken to a bowl and set aside.
  • Same pot, add the peppers and onion, cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft.
  • Add the chicken back to the pot and mix in the salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder.
  • When everything is coated well, add the milk and pasta. Stir together and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, stir often to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Cook until the pasta is tender and the sauce reduced.
  • Add the cheese and mix in, no one will care if you use more cheese.
  • When the cheese is melted and mixed in, serve.

Notes

This should be low cost per serving, will price when I buy 3 chicken breasts.
