Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

  3. Reduce heat under skillet to medium, add onion, orange bell pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, dried basil, and red pepper flakes to skillet. Cook and stir until onions are translucent and peppers are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, heat for about 2 minutes. Add chicken, cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Portion cooked pasta into bowls, spoon chicken and sauce mixture on top.
