Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14 oz
  • 1 can green chilies (4 ounces), diced
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 ounces penne pasta

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

  • Remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
  • Enjoy!
