- 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil Used for cooking
- 4 Chicken Breasts after Cutting into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper for adding spicy kick
- Salt & Pepper For flavor as desired
- 1/2 teaspoon of Garlic Powder to Enhances seasoning
- 2 Red Bell Peppers Sliced for vibrancy
- 1 Red Onion Sliced for savory sweetness
- 1 cup of Mushrooms Sliced for earthy richness
- 2 Green Bell Peppers Sliced for color
- 1/2 cup of Diced Jalapenos to add heat and depth
- 1 cup of Heavy Cream Adds richness to the dish
- 1/2 cup of Fresh Parsley Adds an herby freshness
- 1 cup of Parmesan Cheese Grated for savory goodness
Instructions
- Follow the package instructions to cook the penne pasta until it's al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sauté the bite-sized chicken breast pieces until they are fully cooked and golden brown. Season with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Sauté the sliced red and green bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and diced jalapenos until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss it together with the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture. Ensure the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
- Plate the Rattlesnake Pasta and serve it hot, enjoying the rich flavors and delightful combination of spices, vegetables, and creamy sauce!
Notes
- To make this dish vegetarian, omit the chorizo and use vegetable broth instead of the cream.
- The amount of jalapeno peppers can be adjusted to your desired level of spiciness.
- If you like a creamier sauce, add an extra ½ cup of cream.
- If you can’t find chorizo, you can use Italian sausage instead.
- For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
- For a healthier version of this dish, use whole wheat spaghetti and low-fat cream.
