Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Pound (lb) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
• 2 Red bell peppers, sliced
• 2 Cups milk
• 0.5 Cups butter
• 16 Ounces (oz) Muenster cheese, shredded
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic powder
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) cornstarch
• 1 Pound (lb) linguine pasta
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) red pepper flakes
• 0.25 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) parsley, torn

Steps

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they begin to turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the sliced red bell peppers and continue to cook until they become tender, about 5 more minutes. Cover and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the milk, butter, shredded Muenster cheese, and minced garlic. Stir constantly for about 10 minutes to prevent burning. The sauce should thicken to a creamy consistency. If needed, add cornstarch in 1 teaspoon increments, whisking continuously, until the desired thickness is achieved.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
4. Once the sauce is ready, combine it with the chicken and pepper mixture. Add the garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
5. Pour the creamy chicken and pepper sauce over the hot linguine. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and torn parsley for a burst of freshness and flavor. Enjoy your gourmet pasta experience!
