• 1-1/4 cups thick and chunky salsa plus 1/4 cup for cheese mixture (my favorite is Ortega)
• 1 cup corn, thawed if frozen and drained if canned
• 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
• 8 oz Velveeta Mild Mexican cheese, cubed
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

Cook pasta al dente as directed on package.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet on medium high heat and add chicken. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in salsa, corn and peppers. Bring to boil. Simmer on medium low heat 10 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, melt cheese with remaining 1/4 cup salsa in a small saucepan.

Drain pasta. Add pasta to chicken and mix lightly. Evenly top with melted cheese and mix lightly again.

Garnish with green onions and serve.
