Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 300-400 gm boneless chicken cut into strips
  • 1 cup capsicum strips packed (I used green, red, orange and yellow)
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 400 gm macaroni
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese I didn't add
  • Chopped parsley for garnish didn't use

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add the chicken, capsicum and onion and saute till slightly wilted.
  • Add in the spice powders and saute for a minute. Add the tomato paste and coat.
  • Add the macaroni, milk and water and bring to a boil. Add sufficient salt.
  • Reduce flame and cook till the macaroni is completely done, stirring occasionally.
  • Adjust seasoning. Serve hot with garnishing of parsley.

Notes

Instead of a cup of milk and 3 cups of water, you can use both half and half to make it more rich.
You can end up the pasta by adding some parmesan cheese.
