Chicken Enchilada Pasta

Ingredients:
1 lb cut-up veggie chicken of choice
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced 4-ounce can diced green chilies
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 (10-oz) can green chili enchilada sauce
1 (10-oz) can red enchilada sauce 1 can large black olives, sliced 1 cup sour cream
1- 1/2 cups shredded cheese 13.25 oz box penne (or desired pasta)

Directions:
1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, salt and pepper to taste. Combine chicken and onion and cook in a large skillet with 2 tbsp of oil until done.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender.
3. While the pasta is cooking, add the garlic and green pepper to chicken and onion. Cook for another 2 minutes, until pepper is barely tender.

4. Pour the sauce over the hot pasta. Garnish with extra sour cream, cheese, and green onions.
