One-Pan Monterey Chicken Pasta is a quick weeknight dinner inspired by the Monterey Chicken at Chili's restaurant! Chicken, pasta, BBQ sauce, cheese, and bacon make this pasta the ultimate comfort food and all in one-pan.
114.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles undrained
2 1/2cupschicken broth, (I like better than Bouillon base)
2cupsshredded rotisserie chicken
1/2cupbarbecue sauce
1cupshredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
4strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
2tablespoonssliced green onions
Instructions
In a 12-inch skillet, add the pasta, tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook pasta for 10-15 minutes, stirring every once in a while to make sure all parts of the pasta are covered and cooking.
Once pasta is tender, remove lid, stir in the chicken, and heat for a couple of minutes until heated through and excess liquid is evaporated.
Stir in BBQ sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and cover with lid until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with bacon and green onions. Serve immediately!
