This Spicy Chicken Pasta Recipe requires 1 cup of salsa verde, however, you can modify the spicy level to your liking. You can even sprinkle the top with chopped green onion for a healthy finishing touch.

Ingredients To Gather:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup salsa verde

• salt and pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon each)
• 1½ cups pepper jack cheese, shredded

Step By Step Directions To Follow: 

1. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
