Ingredients

  • 200 grams penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, cooking for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the grated Swiss cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.

  5. 5

    Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
