This Pasta With Chicken and Pepper-Cheese Sauce is a great dish that everyone loves. The mixture of peppers adds a nice kick.
The creamy Monterrey cheese sauce provides the perfect balance.
Don’t let the spicy scare you, this dish has the perfect amount of heat. I love the flavors and the little bit kick to it!

Pasta and chicken are a natural combo to me and this pepper-cheese sauce makes it super!
- 8 ounces spaghetti or 8 ounces fettuccine
- 8 ounces boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Monterrey jack cheese grated
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and keep warm.
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. In a small mixing bowl combine 1 tablespoon flour, salt, and red, white, and black pepper. Toss the flour mixture with chicken to coat. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil (add more oil as necessary during cooking.) Add the red bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, and garlic; cook and stir until tender. Remove the veggies with a slotted spoon to a separate bowl; set aside.
Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook and stir about 5 minutes until the chicken is tender and no longer pink. Remove the chicken to the bowl with the veggies.
Stir 2 tablespoons four into the drippings in skillet. Add the chicken broth, milk, and Worcestershire.
Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add the Monterrey jack, stir until the cheese melts. Stir 1 cup of the hot mixture into sour cream; return all of the sour cream mixture to the skillet. Stir in the chicken and veggies. Cook until heated through being careful not to boil the mixture.
Arrange the pasta on individual plates or a large serving platter. Spoon the chicken mixture over the pasta
Enjoy!
