Coated chicken tenders tossed with hot cooked pasta, bell pepper, onion and garlic in four cheese Alfredo sauce. This is a delicious, rich chicken scampi very similar to that served at a well known Italian restaurant chain. Perfect with a green salad with Italian-style salad dressing and breadsticks!

Set aside pasta and cooking water. Wipe skillet with paper towel. Heat 1 tsp. oil in skillet over medium heat. Add green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook 3 minutes more or until vegetables are tender.

Toss to mix, pour into serving bowls and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
