  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, from the chipotle peppers can
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
  • Sprinkle chopped cilantro and grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
  • Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Chipotle Chicken Pasta!
