Preparation
Step 1
Make scampi sauce by melting butter in a preheated pan over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté for 2 - 4 minutes until it starts to brown. Add garlic and sauté an additional 30 seconds; then add the wine, salt, Italian seasoning and both peppers. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by half. Add parsley and cream; simmer uncovered for 10 min. Do not let the mixture reach a boil.
Step 2
Bring water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 4 min. and drain. Run cold water over it.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large pot. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken tenders; coat each one with flour. Cook 3 - 5 minutes on 1 side or until golden brown. Flip each piece over and put to the side. Add onions and peppers. Add the chicken back in and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the scampi sauce in half and pour over chicken and veggies. Add pasta and toss together; cook until pasta is heated through . Top with grated cheese if desired.
