Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken thighs
  • 2 cups bell peppers mixed colors
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cups pasta penne or fusilli
  • 1 cup taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the chicken and vegetables by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, and taco seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the mixture onto a sheet pan, ensuring a single layer for even cooking.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
  6. While it’s roasting, boil water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
  7. Once the chicken and veggies are done, mix in the cooked pasta and sour cream directly on the sheet pan.
  8. Sprinkle the cheese on top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
