Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb boneless chicken breast
1 box(es) garden radiatore or rotini pasta
1 whole sweet red pepper cored and diced
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup milk
8 oz pepper jack cheese shredded (about 2 cups)
3 whole scallions trimmed and sliced
1 1/2 cup lime flavored tortilla chips crushed

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water just to boiling. Add chicken breast and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook chicken in barely simmering water for 12 minutes. Remove to cutting board; return water to boiling; add a little salt to the water.
Add pasta to boiling water and cook as per package directions, 9 minutes. Add pepper during last minute of cook time. Drain.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, chili powder and salt. Add milk in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in shredded cheese.
With two forks or your hands, shred chicken into bite-size pieces. In large bowl, combine pasta and pepper, chicken, scallions and cheese sauce. Stir until blended; top with crushed chips and serve.
Makes: 6 servings
