Method

Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, season chicken strips with chili powder, garlic salt and lemon pepper. Cook strips quickly in a skillet. When chicken is almost cooked through, and green pepper and onion then cook until crisp-tender. Drain pasta and place in a 2-qt oven-safe casserole dish. Top pasta with chicken and vegetable mixture. Pour salsa over mixture then top with cheese. Place under broiler about 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve topped with sour cream, if desired.

 

Notes: Substitute beef or pork strips for chicken. If desired, you may make a double recipe of this and freeze half in a second freezer/oven-safe dish to thaw and heat later.
