Ingredients

8 ounces ziti pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic and roasted red peppers, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine: Add the cooked ziti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
