A delicious and wholesome Roasted Pepper Chicken Pasta recipe featuring whole wheat penne, tender roasted chicken, and colorful bell peppers seasoned with herbes de Provence for a flavorful twist.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 10.5 ounces whole wheat penne

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 2 cups diced chicken breast
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced (red and yellow)
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to get it ready for roasting the chicken and vegetables.
  2. Prepare Chicken and Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breast, sliced bell peppers, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Toss everything together to coat evenly with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Roast Chicken and Vegetables: Spread the coated chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are golden brown and tender.
  4. Cook Pasta: Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat penne and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly once cooked.
  5. Combine and Serve: Transfer the cooked pasta to a serving dish. Top with the roasted chicken and vegetables and gently toss to combine all the flavors. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or fresh herbs like basil before serving.
  • You can substitute chicken breast with turkey or tofu for a different protein option.
  • If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes while tossing the pasta.
  • Ensure the chicken is diced evenly so it cooks uniformly during roasting.
  • Use a large enough baking tray to avoid overcrowding, ensuring the vegetables roast properly instead of steaming.
