Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package rotini pasta

  • 2 cups half-and-half cream

  • ½ cup butter

  • cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ teaspoon dried basil leaves

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh chives

  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed

  • ½ green bell pepper, chopped

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain and set aside.

  2. Combine half-and-half and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Boil gently, stirring, until mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 to 1 2/3 cups. Remove pan from heat; whisk in cheese, basil, oregano, chives, and parsley. Cover and set aside.

  3. Sauté chicken in a large skillet until lightly browned on both sides. Stir in bell peppers and cook until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
