Ingredients
  

  • 1 box VELVEETA Cheesy Skillets "Nacho Supreme"
  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1 cup crushed corn tortilla chips optional

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Saucepan
  • Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Start by heating your skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if needed, then toss in the chicken breast pieces. Brown them until cooked through, which should take about four to five minutes. You want them golden on the outside and tender on the inside.
  2. Next, grab your diced red bell peppers and throw them into the skillet. Don’t forget to add the contents of the VELVEETA Cheesy Skillets box, including the noodles and seasoning packet. This is where the magic begins!
  3. Now, pour in the water and give everything a good stir. You’ll want to bring it to a gentle boil; this allows the noodles to start cooking and soaking up all those amazing flavors.
  4. Once boiling, lower the heat and cover the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about nine to eleven minutes. Keep an eye on the noodles to ensure they become tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. After the noodles are cooked, it’s time to drizzle in the sour cream and add the diced tomatoes. Stir everything together until it's well combined, and the mixture becomes creamy and luscious.
  6. Finally, top your skillet dinner with diced green onions and a generous sprinkle of crushed corn tortilla chips. They provide that perfect crunch and elevate the dish to a whole new level!
  7. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors and textures. You can also offer additional toppings like salsa or jalapeños for those who like it spicy!
