Ingredients

8 servings

•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
•

2 red bell peppers, sliced
•

2 cups milk
•

0.5 cup butter

•

16 ounces shredded Muenster cheese
•

1 clove garlic, minced
•

0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
•

2 tablespoons cornstarch
•

1 pound linguine pasta

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and add chicken; saute until it begins to turn golden brown. Add red bell peppers and cook until they become limp; cover and simmer.
In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine milk, butter, cheese and garlic; stir constantly for about 10 minutes to avoid burning. Sauce should now have a thickened sauce-like consistency; if not, add cornstarch in 1 teaspoon increments until desired consistency is reached.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Once the sauce is complete, combine it with the chicken and peppers mixture; add garlic powder to taste.
Pour sauce over hot pasta; serve.
