Chicken Riggies

I won't take credit for this recipe. It came back with me from New York, so if you enjoy it thank the Yankees ;). That said, it is definitely one of my favorites and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!


1 8 oz package of  Rigatoni Pasta
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
1 jar of Alfredo sauce
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper 
1 onion 
1 can of mushrooms

Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente; drain. In a large, deep skillet over medium high heat, saute chicken for 5-7 minutes, until well browned. Add spaghetti sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion and mushrooms. Stir all together and simmer for 40 minutes. Add Alfredo sauce, stir until well blended, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Spoon over hot pasta and Serve.

Now I made a few changes. I only used 3 chicken breasts, and I didn't let it simmer for as long. I just let it come to boil and simmer for about 8-10 minutes each time, and then I mixed the entire batch of sauce with my pasta. However cooking is always about whatever is easiest for you. So make changes where you like and let me know how it turns out!
