Chicken N Peppers Pasta Skillet Recipes

EASY CREAMY CHICKEN PASTA WITH BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large pot, boil water for pasta. Salt lightly and add rotini. Cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• While pasta cooks, grease a large pan with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil, and over medium heat, cook chicken and peppers together until chicken is cooked through and peppers are tender. If you prefer crunchier peppers, add them to your chicken after 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer chicken and veggies to a bowl and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat and add the half and half. Bring to a low simmer and allow to cook until it has reduced down and thickened just slightly, about 5 to 8 min. Remove from heat and add Parmesan, chives or green onions, oregano, basil, and salt.
• Add chicken back to the pan with the sauce, pour in the drained noodles, stir and serve. Top with more Parmesan if desired.

SKILLET CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Stir in the spaghettini, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta until it has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 6-8 minutes. Drain well and keep warm.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the tomatoes; cook until they soften and begin to break down. Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, sugar, and ketchup. Heat sauce through and reserve.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a separate cast iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in chicken; cook until browned. Stir in crushed garlic cloves; cook for 1 additional minute.
• Remove chicken from skillet and reserve. Turn heat to high. Stir the green pepper, red pepper, onion, and mushrooms into the skillet and cook until they begin to soften. Stir in browned chicken. Turn heat to medium and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the vegetables are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Toss the chicken and vegetables with the tomato sauce and the hot pasta. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

CHEESY CHICKEN PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and add chicken; saute until it begins to turn golden brown. Add red bell peppers and cook until they become limp; cover and simmer.
• In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine milk, butter, cheese and garlic; stir constantly for about 10 minutes to avoid burning. Sauce should now have a thickened sauce-like consistency; if not, add cornstarch in 1 teaspoon increments until desired consistency is reached.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Once the sauce is complete, combine it with the chicken and peppers mixture; add garlic powder to taste.
• Pour sauce over hot pasta; serve.
