Serves: 6

Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 yellow pepper, sliced
1 orange pepper, sliced
3 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 onion, sliced
2 cups whole wheat pasta, uncooked
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup + 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and cook for 3 minutes. Add in the peppers and 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning and stir to combine with the chicken. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and peppers are slightly softened. Meanwhile on a separate burner, cook pasta according to its directions. Drain and set aside in a large bowl. Once your pepper and chicken mixture is cooked, add it to the bowl of cooked pasta. Stir to combine.
To make the dressing, whisk together lime juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning, and cilantro. Pour over the pasta mixture and mix together. Serve warm or chilled!
