We've taken a traditional chicken casserole and added some Mexican flavors for a new and delicious take on a family favorite dish.

TOTAL TIME: 1:00PREP: 0:25LEVEL: ModerateYIELD: 6 main-dish servings
Ingredients
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 large green pepper
1 medium onion
2 clove garlic
1 can crushed tomatoes
½ tsp. ground chipotle chile
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
12 oz. wide egg noodles
1 c. fresh cilantro leaves
½ c. light sour cream
1 c. Mexican-blend cheeses
Directions
Heat large covered saucepot of salted water to boiling on high. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In 12-inch skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Add green pepper, onion, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes, chipotle, and cumin. Heat to simmering, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While chicken mixture simmers, add noodles to boiling water and cook 5 minutes less than label directs. Drain well; return to pot. To same pot, add chicken, cilantro, sour cream, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring to combine.
Spread mixture in even layer in glass or ceramic 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked (165 degrees F) and filling is bubbling.
