Italian Chicken with Peppers & Onions is really a super-easy version of a classic chicken cacciatore. Using boneless chicken makes it quick (you can use breasts or thighs, whichever you have on hand). Just brown the chicken, then simmer with bell peppers, onion and garlic in a rich and flavorful sauce. Toss with spaghetti and dinner is ready in only 40 minutes! Italian Chicken with Peppers & Onions is so easy, you almost don't need a recipe, and you can customize by swapping out the spaghetti for whatever pasta you have in the pantry, add some crushed red pepper for heat or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve!
Step 1
Cook and drain the spaghetti according to the package directions. While the spaghetti is cooking, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir the peppers, onions and garlic in the skillet and cook until the chicken is done and the vegetables are tender.
Step 3
Stir in the sauce and cook until hot. Season to taste. Serve the chicken mixture over the spaghetti. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
