Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 cups milk
½ cup butter
16 ounces shredded Muenster cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 pound linguine pasta

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and add chicken; saute until it begins to turn golden brown. Add red bell peppers and cook until they become limp; cover and simmer.
  • In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine milk, butter, cheese and garlic; stir constantly for about 10 minutes to avoid burning. Sauce should now have a thickened sauce-like consistency; if not, add cornstarch in 1 teaspoon increments until desired consistency is reached.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • Once the sauce is complete, combine it with the chicken and peppers mixture; add garlic powder to taste.
  • Pour sauce over hot pasta; serve.
