Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups pasta of your choice (penne or fusilli work well)
1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the roasted red peppers and cook for another 2 minutes.
Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the roasted peppers and garlic. Toss to combine and heat through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
