How to make Chicken and Peppers in White Sauce
Step 1: Season the boneless skinless chicken chunks with salt and pepper, then saute in a tbsp each olive oil and butter. If using bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks, saute in a skillet side until both sides are very brown. Transfer onto baking and dish and bake for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees oven until cooked through.
Step 2: In the same skillet, saute the green and red pepper strips, sliced onion, and minced garlic until soft. Set aside when done. Drain the grease from the pan and wipe clean.
Step 3: Ready the pasta. Cook as directed in the box, drain and set aside.
Step 4: Put back the cooked boneless chicken chunks or the baked chicken thighs or drumsticks into the frying pan with the pepper/onion mixture and pasta.
Step 5: Place the chicken broth and mayonnaise in a medium bowl and whisk well. Pour this into the frying pan, then continue to cook until the sauce has thickened. This will take just a couple of minutes.
Notes:
This recipe you can make with broccoli. After steaming the broccoli, add them to the pan and then toss to combine with the sauce.
