Ruby's Sonora Chicken Pasta

Got this from a co-worker. Don't want to get her into any trouble, so I'll hold back her name. :-)

Sauce
6 oz. jar of Tostitos Queso dip
1 small block of Velveta (optional)
1 small can of green chilis (optional)

1. Mix cheeses and chilis in a saucepan and heat on low.

Black Bean Salsa
6 oz. jar of your favorite salsa (Newman’s medium for me)
1 can Black Beans, drained and rinsed.

2. Mix salsa and beans in a bowl, set aside or chill.

Pasta
1 box Penne pasta

1. Cook according to directions on box.

Chicken
1 lb Boneless Chicken Breast
2 Tbsp Olive or Canola Oil
Garlic Salt

1. In a frying pan, add Oil and then Chicken. Sprinkle with salt on one side.
2. Cook over medium to high heat until chicken is cooked through.
3. Slice chicken into strips or chunks.

Putting it all together:
Place Penne on a plate. Spoon 2 or 3 Tablespoons of cheese sauce over the pasta.
Add a dollop (or more) of the Salsa on top of the cheese.
Place chicken on top or around the Salsa.
ENJOY!
