Pan-Seared Chicken and Orecchiette with Caramelized Bell Pepper and Parmesan Cream Sauce

Pan-Seared Chicken and Orecchiette with Caramelized Bell Pepper and Parmesan Cream Sauce

We think orecciette (“small ears” in Italian!) are the perfect vehicle for a creamy, cheesy sauce like this one. To offset all that richness, we’ve loaded up this dish with plenty of veggies. Spiced up with a little chili pepper heat, this pasta is bound to please!
