Chicken Enchilada Spaghetti

AMAZING!  It really sounded like an odd combination, but it was surprisingly super delicious!!!


Original Recipe! - Her site has AMAZING ideas!
(Below is my tweaked version)
Chicken Enchilada Spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1/2 pound of dry whole wheat spaghetti
1 10-ounce can of green enchilada sauce
3/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
cilantro for topping (optional)
Boil water for pasta and prepare pasta according to directions.
While pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onions, peppers, salt and pepper and let cook until vegetables are soft, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, then stir in chicken, cumin, cayenne, paprika and chili powder, along with the can of enchilada sauce. Turn the heat down to low, drain the cooked pasta, then add pasta to the skillet too. Fold in cheese and mix thoroughly to combine. Toss with a set of kitchen tongs until everything is mixed, then serve with a bunch of fresh cilantro.
