Ingredients

• 12 oz Gluten-free pasta
• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining, then set the pasta aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers begin to soften.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring to release the garlic's aroma.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and reserved pasta cooking water. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat it in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and black pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to evenly combine.

Step 10

Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
