Mexican Chicken Penne


If you're looking for a quick dinner that takes only minutes to prepare... this is it. My only complaint was that the dip, milk, and chicken sauce was cool. It should have been heated up or something.

One positive: We discovered Nate is a fan of black beans! He was eating them down! One after the other!

1 pkg penne pasta
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1-1/4 cups salsa con queso dip
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large tomato, chopped
3 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine the chicken, dip, milk, and sauce.

Drain pasta; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat. Top with black beans, tomato, onions, and cheese.

So how was Nathan's diaper after all those beans? :-)

Sounds good!

Ashlyn loves black beans, or any beans, for that matter! She eats them like candy, and anyone who watches her just laughs in amazement. :)
