Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Cook rigatoni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and slice into strips.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic, green and red bell peppers, and sauté until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and pour in heavy cream. Stir in Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Simmer gently until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add sliced chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat with sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Combine the cooked rigatoni pasta with the sauce and chicken. Toss gently and heat through.
- Serve warm and enjoy your easy chicken riggies.
