Spicy Chicken Over Pasta

Be sure to wear plastic or rubber gloves when you're working with the chili peppers. The volatile oils in the peppers can burn your skin and eyes.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 4 fresh cherry chile peppers, seeded and cut into strips or pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, cut into chunks
• 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 1/2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 14-1/2 oz. can chopped tomatoes, undrained
• 1 lb. dried angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
• Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chili peppers, garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken. Saute for 3 or 4 minutes or until done. Add undrained tomatoes; cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Serve chicken mixture over pasta; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Number of Servings: 6

Notes from the Cook: Be careful when the hot cherry peppers hit the hot olive oil, they may make you cough...its worth it!
