One Pot BBQ Chicken Pasta

I love one pot dishes that come together easily with everything I have in my pantry! To make this dish even easier I used a store bought rotisserie chicken. This is definitely a great dish on a cold evening. The BBQ sauce gives it that warm flavor and what’s not to love about a pasta dish with bacon! Add a salad and your dinner is complete!

INGREDIENTS
6 slices of bacon, diced
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 onion diced
1 jalapeño, de-seeded and minced
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes, not drained
1/2 cup milk
3 cups dry pasta shells
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup shredded cheese
3/4 cup BBQ sauce, I used a honey BBQ sauce
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS
In a Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, cook the bacon over medium high heat until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Set aside. Add the onion and jalapeño to the pan and cook stirring frequently until the onion is tender and begins to brown. Stir in the chicken broth, tomatoes and the juices, milk and add the pasta shells, stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer, uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the shells are cooked al dente. Stir in the bacon, add the shredded chicken, corn and let warm through. Add the cheese and BBQ sauce stirring until the cheese is melted. Add salt if desired, remove from heat and serve warm.

Enjoy!
