Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta
  • 1 can Rotel (undrained)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 Large chicken breast
  • seasoning of your choice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Fill a saucepan with 4 to 6 quarts of water. I add a dash of salt to the water. Put it on the stovetop burner and bring the water to a boil. While the water is heating, start your sauce.
  • Cutup two chicken breasts into bite size chunks
  • Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to another saucepan/frying pan. Turn the stovetop burner to high heat and add your chicken. You can add any seasoning of your choice to the chicken. I used garlic powder, onion powder, and Greek seasoning
  • Stir the chicken frequently for about 5-10 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.
  • When the water has come to a rolling boil, add the pasta of your choice.
  • Boil until the pasta is to your liking. Drain the water from the pasta
  • While your pasta is cooking, add 1/2 block (8 ounces) of Velvetta cheese cut into cubes, one block of cream cheese (8 ounces) cut into cubes, a can of Rotel, and a packet of taco seasoning to the cooked chicken.
  • Turn the stovetop burner heat down to medium. Stir the cheeses in with the chicken. Put a lid on the pot to assist the cheese in melting. Stir frequently.
  • When the cheese has completely melted and looks creamy, add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Stir to combine.
