Spicy Chicken Pasta

This is a combination of Johnny Carino's Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta and Chili's Spicy Chicken Alfredo. SO delicious!!

Spicy Chicken Pasta



Ingredients:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled
1/2 cube of butter
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, julienned w/ oil
1 bunch of green onions, sliced
1/2 a green bell pepper, chopped
3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 large gloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
16 ounces penne pasta

Directions:

Grill, or otherwise, cook your chicken, let it cool, then thinly slice it on the diagonal (chopping it is fine also). Melt the butter in a large sauce pan, then add your chicken, tomatoes, green onions, and bell peppers. Cook on medium high heat for 5 minutes. Then add cream, cheese, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium high heat (the mixture should have a gentle boil) until it thickens down by about half (approximately 10 - 15 minutes). Stir frequently. Meanwhile, cook your pasta, then drain and salt. Once sauce and pasta are ready, toss all together and serve.

**You can add grilled shrimp to this dish in addition to the chicken or as a replacement for the chicken.
