Red peppers – jarred vs homemade
This recipe calls for 12 ounces of roasted red peppers. We almost always used jarred mostly just because of how easy it is (you can see our favorite below), but you can use homemade roasted red peppers.
How to make creamy chicken and roasted red pepper pasta
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. While it cooks, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic till soft. Whisk in half and half and chicken broth. Stir in seasoned salt and mozzarella. Lower the heat to keep the sauce from boiling.
- Add the chicken and red pepper slices to the sauce. Stir frequently and keep and eye on the heat so it doesn’t boil. Drain the cooked pasta and stir it together with the sauce. Add chopped parsley or basil when serving.
We love to serve our pasta in these perfect pasta bowls.

What to serve with this pasta
This pasta can almost stand on it’s own it’s so hearty! But if you need some ideas for extra sides, we like to serve it with our 30-minute Dinner Rolls, Parmesan Crusted Asparagus, or our Homemade Caesar Salad and Dressing.

Would luv for my readers to see this awesome idea, will you please join our weekly party
one is regular milk can be substituted but the dish will not be as rich. Another is for one cup of half and half use 7/8 cups of milk and 7/8 Tablespoon melted butter (cooled). Can also used canned evaporated milk. A recipe calling for half and half requires the additional butter fat content it has over milk. So, even if you use canned evaporated milk as a substitute you will need to increase the butter fat by adding butter. Mix about 1 tablespoon melted and cooled butter into each cup of milk used. You still won't get the exact result called for in the recipe but hopefully it will pass.
Good luck with your healthier version of this recipe! :)
