  • While pasta cooks, grease a large pan with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil, and over medium heat, cook chicken and peppers together until chicken is cooked through and peppers are tender. If you prefer crunchier peppers, add them to your chicken after 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer chicken and veggies to a bowl and set aside.

Creamy Linguini With Chicken, Zucchini and Red Bell Pepper image

A tasty pasta dish with a lightened up cream sauce and filling ingredients. I originally got this recipe from Recipe4Living and it was considered a budget dish. I've changed it up a few times to make it to our liking and included chicken and peppers. I have also changed the creamy sauce recipe to make it lighter then the original. Not hard to do, but definitely helps in reducing calories!
