Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces rotini pasta
1 pound (about 2 small) boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 small green bell pepper (diced small)
1 small red bell pepper (diced small)
2 cups half and half*
1/2 cup (4oz) butter
3/4 cup (3oz) shredded Parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
1 teaspoon chives or green onions (minced, optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt

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.

CREAMY LINGUINI WITH CHICKEN, ZUCCHINI AND RED BELL PEPPER



Creamy Linguini With Chicken, Zucchini and Red Bell Pepper image

A tasty pasta dish with a lightened up cream sauce and filling ingredients. I originally got this recipe from Recipe4Living and it was considered a budget dish. I've changed it up a few times to make it to our liking and included chicken and peppers. I have also changed the creamy sauce recipe to make it lighter then the original. Not hard to do, but definitely helps in reducing calories!
