Step 1
Cook the 8 oz elbow macaroni in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, dice the 1 onion and 1 green bell pepper. Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into bite-size pieces.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken with the onion and bell pepper until chicken is golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Stir in the 1 cup tomato sauce and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Cook until cheese melts and sauce is bubbly, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated. Serve hot.
