Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 2 cups cooked rotini pasta
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • large pot
  • Large Skillet
  • baking dish

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 until softened. Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken, corn, black beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 until heated through.
  3. Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated.
  4. Pour in the BBQ sauce and mix well. Cook for an additional 2-3 until the sauce is heated through. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover the skillet for a couple of minutes to let the cheese melt.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake at 350°F for about 10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
