peperonata
We had a similar dish at an Italian restaurant called "Sizzilini". When trying to duplicate that dish, we found a recipe online called "Peperonata". So I mixed it up a bit adding the chicken and pasta to resemble the dish at the restaurant. As a side note - if you are looking for a lower calorie/carb meal, I substitute spaghetti squash for the pasta in mine. I just take my portion out prior to tossing with the pasta. Hope you enjoy!
