Steps:
- In a large pot, boil water for pasta. Salt lightly and add rotini. Cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- 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.
- In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat and add the half and half. Bring to a low simmer and allow to cook until it has reduced down and thickened just slightly, about 5 to 8 min. Remove from heat and add Parmesan, chives or green onions, oregano, basil, and salt.
- Add chicken back to the pan with the sauce, pour in the drained noodles, stir and serve. Top with more Parmesan if desired.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
- Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
- Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, gather all your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need before you start cooking.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and meat that is fresh and free from any discoloration.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the other ingredients and create a well-balanced dish.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it properly. Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a Good Quality Pasta: The type of pasta you use will also make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Choose a high-quality pasta that is made from durum wheat. Durum wheat pasta has a higher protein content than other types of pasta, which makes it more resilient and less likely to fall apart when cooked.
- Don't Overcook the Pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Sauce the Pasta Immediately: Once the pasta is cooked, toss it with the sauce immediately. This will help the sauce to coat the pasta evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish your dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil. This will add extra flavor and visual appeal to your dish.
Tips:
This pepper and chicken fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of chicken, bell peppers, and a creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Here are a few additional tips for making this dish:
- Use a variety of bell peppers: For a more colorful and flavorful dish, use a variety of bell peppers, such as red, orange, and yellow.
- Add some spice: If you like a little bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Serve with a side salad: This dish is hearty and filling, but it can also be served with a side salad for a more balanced meal.
