Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz. angel hair pasta, cooked al dente
  • 2 lbs chicken tenderloins, or boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 each, red, yellow, and green bell pepper, deseeded, and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced thinly

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl or plate, combine flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper
  2. Trim chicken to 1/2 inch thick pieces if using a thicker cut of chicken (you shouldn’t have to do this if you’re using chicken tenders)
  3. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, coating well on all sides, and set aside
  4. Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat
  5. When oil is hot enough that a drop of water pops when it hits it, add bell peppers and onion
  6. Stir-fry 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened
  7. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside
  8. Heat remaining tablespoon of oil, reduce heat to medium, and add chicken to skillet
  9. Cook chicken until golden brown on first side, and loosens easily from pan when picked up – about 4-5 minutes
  10. Flip, and cook on second side until done through
  11. Remove chicken from skillet, and add butter and shallots
  12. Sauté shallots for about 2 minutes, until softened 
  13. Add garlic and crushed red pepper, and continue to sauté another 30 seconds
  14. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and wine and heat to a simmer
  15. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze
  16. Add cooked pasta, and minced parsley, and toss to coat pasta
  17. Add bell peppers, onions, and chicken, and toss together
  18. Serve hot
