This Green Chile Chicken Pasta is a rich and creamy, spicy and savory Southwest style pasta dish with green chiles, chicken, and corn that makes a delicious weeknight meal or an impressive gourmet dinner.

Green Chile Chicken Pasta

This Green Chile Chicken Pasta was inspired by a cool restaurant in downtown Austin. My husband, the Gridiron Grub Guru, and I were in town for a blogger convention and tried this restaurant because we had heard other people rave about it, and it was within walking distance of where we were staying.

One of the restaurant’s specialty is a Green Chile Chicken Mac and Cheese pasta bowl. It is a rich and creamy mac and cheese with a Southwestern flair. To me, that is the best kind of comfort food. Whenever I have to travel internationally, when I come home, I crave comfort food, usually with a Southwestern or Texas twist.

I wish I could say that the chef came out and gave me his recipe, but I had no such luck.  However, I did not let that deter me.  I went ahead and made my own version of their dish, and the result is this Green Chile Chicken Pasta dish.

Green Chile Chicken Pasta

To make this Green Chile Chicken Pasta, I used La Moderna Golden Harvest Rotini, which is a high-protein pasta. I like La Moderna because it’s pasta has an excellent consistency, texture, and flavor since it uses the highest quality wheat available and is high in protein.

Check their product locator website to find a store near you that carries La Moderna. I found it at my local Walmart, which makes it very convenient. For more recipe ideas and the latest news, be sure to follow La Moderna on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

For the other ingredients for this Green Chile Chicken Pasta, you will need cooked chicken, corn, chopped red and green bell peppers, chopped onion, minced garlic, cheese, cilantro, and of course, green chiles.

If you have the time, you could roast green chile peppers. However, since I need a quick and easy weeknight dinner, I chose to use the canned green chiles to save time.

Start by preparing the La Moderna Rotini Pasta. Then rinse and drain the cooked pasta. Then saute the vegetables, and then start the rich and creamy cheese sauce.

This sauce is awesome! It adds so much rich flavor to the dish.

This Green Chile Chicken Pasta is one of my favorite dishes for using leftover chicken, like Blackened Chicken or Oven Baked Chicken. It would work well with leftover turkey as well.
