Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 pound ziti pasta
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
1 pound boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add ziti and return to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Cook chicken in the same skillet until no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes.
Combine salsa, cream cheese, and taco seasoning in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until cream cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine ziti, chicken, salsa mixture, onion mixture, black beans, and corn in a large bowl. Add 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese and mix until combined. Pour into a baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar over top. Continue to bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Unknown Recipe Tip
You can use Mexican cheese blend instead of Cheddar if desired.
