Southwest Chicken Pasta

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add 2 1/2 tsp of salt and penne to the boiling water. Cook according to package directions.

Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and the oregano.

Cut the chicken across the short side to create strips.

Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over high heat.

When the oil is hot, add the chicken.

Spread it out into a single layer.

Then add the sliced peppers.

Cook without stirring for about 5 min - you would like the chicken to brown a little bit. If it seems as if it will burn, stir it.

Add the salsa, stir and cook for about 5 more min or until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the skillet from the heat.

Stir in the sour cream.

Spoon cooked penne into a serving bowl or onto plates.

Top with the chicken mixture.

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired, and a little of the shredded cheese.
