Como fazer Pasta Chicken Taco Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground chicken with 1/2 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in 1 ½ cups water (or low-sodium chicken broth) and 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using low-sodium broth, season with salt and pepper to taste at the end of simmering.
Cook 1 lb penne pasta according to package directions, but stop cooking when it's just slightly underdone (al dente). Drain well.
Add the cooked pasta, 1 cup frozen corn, ½ cup sliced black olives, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping), ½ cup salsa, ½ cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (optional) to the skillet with the chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Bake covered for 35 minutes.
Remove from oven, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese over the top.
Bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a side salad!
