Directions

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add yellow and red bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion to same skillet and saute until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
• Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper to skillet and saute 2 or 3 minutes.
• Add whipping cream and chicken stock. Simmer until sauce re-heats and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Add basil and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese to sauce, stirring to incorporate. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, simmer. Sauce will reduce and thicken.
• Cook chicken:
• Wash and drain chicken breasts. Pound until very thin, as thin or thinner then 1/4-inch thick (the thinner the chicken breasts the better).
• Mix breadcrumbs, flour, and Parmesan cheese together. Place milk in dish for dipping.
• Dip chicken in breadcrumb mixture and then in milk and then back in breadcrumbs.
• Place in fry pan that the oil has been heated and fry at medium high temperature until golden, crisp, and cooked through. Add more oil as needed. Remove and drain chicken. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, cook bow-tie pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain and return to pot. Add sauce and toss to coat.
• Place pasta with sauce on plate, and top with chicken breast. Serve, passing additional Parmesan separately.
