Recipe of the week - Mexican Chicken Alfredo

 Finding this recipe was a happy accident.  I was going through a stack of recipes that I had cut out of magazines from years ago and found this.  I remember that there was a recipe on the other side of the page that I had wanted to keep and did not remember this one at all.  It's from Taste of Home magazine.  But, I thought it sounded good and gave it a try.  We both loved it and I've made it several times in the past few months.  Definitely a keeper.  Good comfort food.  It's easy and can be made ahead of time and frozen.  Enjoy!



Mexican Chicken Alfredo

1 16oz package of spiral pasta

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, cubed

1 medium oonion, chopped

1 Tbsp oil

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup medium salsa
