    This is really good! I put it together just a little differently though. I sauteed the cubed chicken in some butter with the green onions, then added the salsa, milk, tomato. and about half a can of black beans and simmered it a bit. Mixed it with the penne and topped individual servings with the shredded cheddar. Turned out quite well. Thanks!
