Description

This is one of my husband’s favorite meals. You can’t beat onions, bell peppers and chicken in a creamy garlic and herb sauce over angel hair pasta.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour, Plus Extra For Dredging Chicken
  • ¾ cups Milk, Hot
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic, Crushed
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper
  • ¾ cups White Cooking Wine
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 whole Chicken Breast
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Olive Oil, For Frying
  • 1 whole Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 2 whole Bell Peppers, Any Color - Thinly Sliced
  • ½ packages Angel Hair Pasta, Cooked & Drained

Preparation

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons flour and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat. Stirring constantly, slowly add hot milk. Set aside.

In another saucepan, heat remaining 3 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes on low. Add the wine and chicken broth, stir until combined. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes; set aside.

Meanwhile, slice the chicken breasts into strips. Place strips in a small bowl of flour with salt and pepper, and coat each piece thoroughly. In a large skillet, saute chicken breasts in olive oil until almost done. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Saute until chicken is done and veggies are crisp-tender.

Combine the white sauce and scampi sauce and stir until well combined. Pour sauce over the chicken/veggie mixture and heat through. Serve over angel hair pasta.

This was an incredible find! I happened to have all the ingredients in the house, and whipped this together in no time flat!! (OK, I substituted a basil, oregano, and marjoram mix for the Italian seasoning, and a sweet Vidalia onion for the red). The layering of flavors was delish! I did add half milk and half heavy cream for a richer sauce. My family gives it a big THUMBS UP and I’ll definitely make this again!
