Whole Wheat Pasta with Peppers and Onions

Ingredients (Serves 2)

-4oz dry whole wheat pasta (I use Delallo)

-1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
-1 orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped
-8oz cooked chicken breast, diced
-1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
-Salt, pepper, and parsley to taste

Directions

1.  In a large pot of boiling water, cook your whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions.  Drain pasta after cooking and set to the side.

2.  While the pasta cooks, saute the onion and bell peppers in the olive oil, stirring occasionally.  Allow the vegetables to soften and cook through before adding the diced cooked chicken to the pan (about 10 minutes).

3.  Cook the vegetables and chicken for a few additional minutes and then season with Italian seasoning.

4.  Add the cooked pasta to the vegetables and then season with salt, pepper, and parsley to taste.  Enjoy!
