8 servings

  • 1 pound ziti pasta
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add ziti and return to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Cook chicken in the same skillet until no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine salsa, cream cheese, and taco seasoning in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until cream cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ziti, chicken, salsa mixture, onion mixture, black beans, and corn in a large bowl. Add 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese and mix until combined. Pour into a baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar over top. Continue to bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
