Chicken Scampi

Here is another recipe from allrecipes.com  It caught my eye because I have a sensitivity to shrimp that causes migraines but I love the flavor of garlic.  Now I can get my flavor without risking a migraine.

1lb. raw chicken tenders or strips
1/4 C. all purpose flour
2 tsp. olive oil
1 16oz. pkg. spaghetti
1 tsp. olive oil
1 green bell pepper cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
1 red bell pepper cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 1/2 C. four cheese alfredo sauce
1/2 C. chopped fresh parsley

  1. Place chicken and flour in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake excess flour off chicken; cook and stir in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (juices run clear). Remove from skillet and place in a medium bowl; set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain, reserving 2/3 cup cooking water, and return pasta to pot. Set aside pasta and cooking water.
  3. Wipe skillet with paper towel. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Add green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion, and garlic and cook and stir for 3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook 3 minutes more or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Stir in Alfredo sauce, cover and heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add to reserved pasta in pot, then add reserved cooking water and chicken. Toss to mix, pour into serving bowls and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
