Heat olive oil over medium hight heat in a 12-inch oven safe skillet until hot. Add chicken and cook until browned. (It doesn't need to be completely cooked because it will continue to cook with the pasta)
Add onion flakes, garlic powder, enchilada sauce, black beans, broth, salsa, cream, and pasta. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover skillet. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until pasta is tender.
Remove skillet from heat. Top with cheese and sprinkle with parsley or cilantro. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes:
Is this pasta super spicy? I didn't think this dish was super spicy, but the heat will all depend on the type of salsa you use. If you are worried about the heat, use a mild salsa or substitute some diced tomatoes for the salsa.
Our favorite store-bought salsas are Mateo’s, Kylito’s, Pace Picante Sauce, and Pace Restaurant Style Salsa.
