Ingredients

  • ½ (16 ounce) package bow-tie pasta, or more to taste

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®), divided

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

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.

  2. Season chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in the same skillet until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.

  4. Pour Alfredo sauce into the skillet; add remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir until sauce is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. Serve chicken and sauce over bow-tie pasta. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
