About Chicken riggies

Chicken Riggies is a flavorful pasta dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, specifically from Central New York. It features rigatoni pasta tossed with tender pieces of chicken, a creamy and spicy tomato-based sauce, bell peppers, and often hot cherry peppers for added heat. Some versions may include onions, garlic, or olives to enhance the flavor profile. While indulgent in taste, the dish’s nutritional value depends on preparation. Lean chicken provides a good source of protein, while bell peppers offer vitamins A and C. However, the creamy sauce and use of heavy oils or cheeses can make it high in calories and saturated fats. Opting for reduced-fat dairy or preparing with olive oil can make it a slightly lighter choice. Chicken Riggies is a hearty and warming meal, ideal for those seeking bold flavors and a satisfying pasta experience.
