Keywords: Poultry, Meat, < 30 Mins, Easy

Ingredients:

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
• 1 cup black olives, sliced
• 8-10 ounces angel hair pasta
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (more to taste)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the chicken pieces until they are cooked through and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced red and green bell peppers, chopped onion, sliced carrots, and black olives. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have absorbed some of the chicken’s flavor.

3. Cook the Pasta: While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta, cover, and set aside.

4. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and half-and-half, continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken.

5. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the ground black pepper and adjust seasoning as needed. Add the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses to the sauce, stirring constantly until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

6. Combine: Gently fold the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture into the creamy cheese sauce, ensuring everything is well-coated and heated through.

7. Toss with Pasta: Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine, making sure the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.

8. Serve: If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, creamy dinner!
