I love pasta. Always have, and always will. I grew up eating spaghetti with marinara sauce or carbonara style at least once a week as part of our regular rotation.
Now a days I try and switch it up a little, but we have some sort of pasta every week. Since one pot pastas came about I fell in love, though I’ve only made a few – this one pot chicken enchilada pasta is another delicious one to add to the list.

The great thing about one pot dishes is easy clean up. You literally cook this whole meal up in one pan and you can serve it out of the same pan too.
For this chicken enchilada pasta, first you’ll heat up some onions and garlic till soft and fragrant, add in your chicken and cook it completely. Then add in your enchilada sauce, chicken stock, and noodles. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes to the sauce can thicken up. Stir in your cheese and your ready to serve. You can garnish it with olive slices, green onions, and cilantro if you want. Any way you have it, I promise you’ll love this yummy dish!
The perfect noodles for this easy pasta dish is Barilla® Pronto™ Pasta. These noodles are cooked even faster than traditional Barilla noodles, with the same great texture and taste.
I’ve prepared an amazing one pot pasta dish for you, but even without my help Barilla® Pronto™ is made in one pan, and you dont even have to wait for the water to boil or drain. Just grab a box from from your local Kroger store and you’ll have dinner in ready in a short time! For more great recipes with Barilla® Pronto™, try these.

I love quick recipes.
karen Carr says
Love this & great alternative to tortillas & wrapping them. I used shells as my pasta & all the sauce yumminess went in the shell area and it was just perfect!
Karen Hardecker says
I ended up with way too much liquid although I used the correct amount of enchilada sauce and chicken broth. Next time I will use a small can of sauce.
Aimee Berrett says
Sorry!! Sometimes I have to cook the noodles a little longer to boil the liquid down! Hope you’ll give it another try!
Jeanne Morton says
This was delicious! I’m a Texan living in Singapore and really miss anything Mexican. This helps! I do have to make my own enchilada sauce, but that just made it even better. Thanks for the recipe. I’ll be making it again.
