Ingredients

8 ounces dry penne pasta
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes
1 onion, sliced
½ green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
½ red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
¼ cup medium-dry white wine
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and reserve pasta.
Whisk the cornstarch and chicken broth together in a bowl until smooth. Set aside until needed.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chicken; stir and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Stir in the onion, and green and red peppers; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth mixture and wine, if desired, and season with oregano and basil. Stir in the cooked pasta, and simmer over medium heat until thoroughly heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.
