Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta

Feb.posted by Paula

Jump to Recipe

Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta is my new obsession! This restaurant-quality dish is attributed to the flavorful, creamy and cheesy roasted red pepper sauce.

Seriously, this Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta is full of rich flavors from the roasted red pepper. But, if you don’t want to or have time to roast peppers using jarred roasted red peppers will result in the same great flavor!

Roasting any pepper brings out a slight sweetness that only roasting can. Grilled peppers are good, but you get a different flavor. I purchased roasted red peppers for years before realizing how easy it is to roast them myself.

 To roast any pepper, first wash and dry the pepper. Heat your oven to 450° F. Place your peppers in a skillet or sheet pan. Roast 30 to 40 minutes, turning so that all sides get charred. Once the skin is charred and the pepper is soft, remove them from the oven and immediately place in a plastic ziptop bag. Allow them to steam until cool enough to the touch. The steam will make the outer skin of the roasted pepper to be easily removed. Once cool remove that charred skin along with the skin and any ‘stringy’ membranes inside. Now you’re ready to use the peppers in a variety of different recipes. (Shameless plug: Follow along on Instagram for behind the scenes with me!)

Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta Tips

You can roast the peppers beforehand and refrigerate until you’re ready to make the sauce. I usually roast them early in the day or the day before and this makes the Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta recipe go really quickly at dinner time.

You can also substitute gluten-free, whole wheat or the pasta variety and shape of your choice depending on your dietary needs.

Chicken breasts or chicken tenders can be used, tenders were on sale so that’s why I used them.

I used a low-sodium, organic chicken broth. You can make your own broth or purchase your favorite.

This recipe is also easily made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth and omitting the chicken cutlets. Personally, I like it just as well without the protein.

Use the best ingredients you can find. Always. I used Sargento® Chef Blends™ Shredded 6 Cheese Italian to top my pasta.

The crown jewel of this Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta is the Sargento® Chef Blends™ Shredded 6 Cheese Italian. It captures the authentic taste of Italy with its amazing flavor blend. It has Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, Fontina,  Romano and aged Asiago. Sprinkled over the chicken and pasta and baked until melted with bits of browned crispy cheese, this cheese blend completely takes this pasta up a notch. Don’t skimp of the cheese!
