How to Make Santa Fe Chicken Pasta Copycat

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing sauce to slightly thicken.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, diced tomatoes, and corn. Simmer for another 3 minutes.
  7. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
  8. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  9. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream (optional).
