1/2 medium sized red onion, sliced thin
1 clove garlic, sliced thin
1 pound pasta, cooked according to package directions
3/4 cup white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasonings

Steps:

Cooked the pasta according to the directions on the package. Place flour, salt, and pepper into a shallow dish and mix well with a fork. Place milk in a another shallow dish. First, dredge chicken in flour mixture, then dip into milk, and then dredge again in the flour mixture. Place breaded chicken on a wrack and allow to rest 10 minutes before cooking. While the chicken is resting, cut peppers, onions, and garlic. Sauté peppers, onions, and garlic in a large heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season peppers, onions, and garlic with a light sprinkling of salt. Sauté until peppers begin to brown. Remove from skillet. Place remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in hot skillet.

Return cooked vegetables to the pan and stir. Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Plate the pasta and sauce, placing a few pieces of cooked chicken with each plate.

Tips:

Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Add the shrimp back to the sauce and cook until just heated through. Overcooking will make them tough.
Serve the chicken scampi over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
