Spicy Chicken & Black Bean Fettucine

This a great recipe and literally one of my favorite. It's not what you would expect in a typical pasta dish. We took this to some friends who had just had a baby and they loved it too. It's a great recipe and not too difficult either.


1/2 c EVOO
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp garlic, minced
2-3 jalapenos, seeded and diced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
2 small roma tomatoes, chopped
1 lb fettucine, cooked al dente
1/2 c fresh cilantro

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Saute until cooked through, but not browned. Remove chicken and set aside and keep warm. Return skillet to heat. Add jalapenos and green onions; saute 3-4 minutes. Stir in black beans; heat about 3 minutes. Add feta and chicken, and heat thoroughly. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes. Toss pasta gently with sauce and sprinkle with cilantro.

Sam's White Chicken Chili

Easiest chili recipe. ever.


12.5 oz can chicken breast - drained and shredded. (I don't like to use canned chicken; I bake two chicken breasts in the oven and then shred - yes it takes more time, but I prefer it)
15 oz can great northern beans
8 oz salsa
20 oz chicken broth
1 tbsp cumin
crushed tortilla chips and colby jack cheese for sprinkling

Combine ingredients in a pan until warmed through.

That's it! Delicious!
