Cajun Chicken Pasta

For the most part, this recipe was developed by Ryan. Sonora Chicken pasta was one of his favorite meals at Ruby Tuesday. It is no longer on their menu, so Ryan decided to recreate it.

1 jar Con Queso Dip
1 jar salsa
1 can black beans (drained)
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 bag frozen corn

Mix the above ingredients in a pot on the stove. Heat thoroughly.



Cook pasta per box instructions. The traditional recipe calls for penne - but obviously, any kind will work fine.

Blackened grilled chicken (recipe for the dry rub below). Dredge raw chicken in dry rub and grill.



Serve chicken and sauce over pasta.
