Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta

Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta

A comforting pasta dish with a creamy roasted red pepper sauce, chicken, and Parmesan cheese.

  • Total Time: 35

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, pureed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Start by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Make sure to salt the water for added flavor.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
  • Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, pour in the pureed roasted red peppers and stir.
  • Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  • Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy!
