Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes, then remove from the pot.
- Add the bell peppers and onion and cook until the onion is translucent, about 6 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pot, along with the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, and stir until evenly coated, about 30 seconds.
- Add the milk and the penne, stirring constantly to prevent the pasta from sticking.
- Cook for about 20 minutes, until pasta is tender and the milk has reduced to a thick sauce that coats the pasta.
- Add the cheese and mix until melted.
- Enjoy!
