The roasted peppers in this recipe are delicious; they are a nice added touch to what is basically a pepper chicken recipe. I prepared this recipe as written but there is room to add some additional spices if you desire; like maybe some red crushed pepper flakes to give it a little bit of heat.
If you have ever eaten a dish that tastes great with that first bite, but the more you eat, the less you like it – well this dish for me was just the opposite. The first bite I thought it was just ok, but as I ate more of it I thought; Wow – this is really good.
Give this Roasted Pepper Chicken Penne Recipe a try; it’s really good. Enjoy
