Salsa Pasta Chicken Bake is so easy to make, all in one dish! Busy weeknights call for easy, healthy dishes and this One Dish Salsa Pasta Chicken Bake is just that.
Disclosure: I was asked to participate in the “#OrganicforAll” campaign as a member of the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network. I received free product for recipe testing and was compensated for my time.
This delicious salsa pasta chicken bake takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and the penne doesn't need to be cooked before hand. It's also healthy, delicious, organic and budget friendly.
Dinners like this salsa pasta dish are a lifesaver, especially on those busy weeknights.
If you are looking for more easy one dish recipes, you will love this Chicken Stir Fry, Sweet Potato Kale Quinoa Skillet and definitely this this Easy Baked Ziti!
These would be extra delicious with some Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make This Salsa Pasta Chicken bake
Let's talk about this recipe. It's sooooo good and all of my kids approved!
How can you go wrong with pasta, chicken, gooey cheese and crunchy tortilla chips on top? You can't.
I used O Organics® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Penne Rigate and Mild Salsa.
And who doesn't love a dish that is prepared in one dish? I am always for less clean up!
Any way I can make my life easier, I am all for it.
Organic doesn't always have to mean expensive and that's one of the reasons why I was excited to partner with ACME representing their USDA-certified O Organics® product line featuring more than 300 high-quality food products.
This year, more than 100 items will be added to the O Organics® line, so there are even more options to choose from! O Organics® is more economical than many other leading national organic brands and since I am feeding a (very hungry) family of 5, that is definitely important to me.
I care about the quality of my ingredients and I try to buy as many organic ingredients as I can. At times organic foods can be more expensive that regular ones and that is why I love O Organics because it always priced right.
O Organics® is available exclusively at all ACME stores, including those in New Jersey (where I buy them!)
How To Make This Salsa Pasta Chicken Bake
Basically, you just put all of the ingredients into a casserole dish. Well, follow the instructions below, but you get my drift.
Did I mention how ridiculously easy this dish is?
Look how cheeeeeeeesy this is.....
To make it even more kid-friendly, I decided to add some crushes O Organics® Yellow Corn Tortillas on top of this chicken bake. Because, let's be honest, tortillas make everything better.
And organic ones at that!
Fitting organic foods into your diet can be as simple as looking for the O Organics® brand at your neighborhood ACME store, changing an ingredient in your favorite recipe, or trying a new recipe for the first time, like this one.

This was SO easy! Just what my Monday night needed. My family loved it too! The only thing I did differently was use medium-heat salsa.
