Substitute lean ground beef for the chicken. Omit oil. Brown meat and drain before adding peppers.

Chili powder is a powdered seasoning mix that is available in the spice aisle of your grocery store. Despite the name, it's not hot and spicy, but it does add a nice touch of Tex-Mex flavor.

I added black beans, extra salsa, and used the mexi-cheese blend. Very dee-lish! With the black beans it was a bit dry so I would add more italian dressing next time.

This was just OK, not sure if I will make again. My family compared it to the Kraft Creamy Chicken Pasta recipe that they love and they were dissapointed that it was not as good.

The flavor of this recipe was so good! I would have preferred it without the chicken (I don't care for chicken) and double the noodles, but still good :). Will definitely make again!
