## Ingredients

- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 small chopped onion
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp dried cilantro
- 1 tbsp minced garlic

## Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of oil, the chicken and a chopped onion.
2. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin and dried cilantro.
3. Once the chicken is pretty much cooked through, add the minced garlic, elbow macaroni, chicken broth, Rotel, and a can of tomato sauce.
4. Stir everything together well and bring to a quick boil.
5. Once you see bubbles, turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover with a lid and cook for about 12 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
6. Then add in about half a cup of milk and one and a half cups of freshly shredded Colby Jack cheese and stir that all together.
7. Pop it in the oven for just a couple of minutes to get that melted.
8. Hit it with some dried parsley before you plate it up.
