Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 red onion finely sliced and chopped
2-3 bell peppers any colour, sliced
3 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 cups penne pasta dry
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup jarred tomato salsa (mild or spicy)

Instructions

Slice chicken breasts into thin strips or small pieces. Dab with paper towel to dry.
Combine chili powder, salt, brown sugar and cumin. Sprinkle over chicken and toss to coat.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken strips for roughly 2 minutes per side — you may have to do this in two batches unless your skillet is very large.
Add the peppers and onion to the chicken in the skillet. Toss and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until peppers are just starting to soften.
Add chicken broth to the skillet and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to remove any bits that might have stuck on.
Stir in the pasta and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce to medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Stir in cheese and salsa and allow to melt before serving.
