Creamy Chicken Penne
Recipes » Main Dish » Poultry - Chicken
This sounds common, but it tastes nothing like anything I've ever made and it is delicious. Left-overs from this dinner are all mine.
"I love this recipe, works every time. The garlic is perfect, most recipes call for 1 or 2 cloves of garlic and I always end up putting more in. I like to use most garlic in the cooking, but then mince a raw one in at the end of cooking. I also use the whole red pepper and throw in some hot chile flakes. I also like to use grated Asiago cheese, it adds a little bit more pungent taste, which is what I like. This is a 5 star recipe. Thanks for posting." - guitarmomYield: 4 Servings Ready in 30 minutes

Made a large batch of this recipe last night so I just about tripled everything but it came out perfect!!! I thought the cream cheese would be overpowering in flavor bit it wasn't. Also I crumbled some bacon and used cherry tomatoes instead of peppers. Will be making again... It was a hit at the family gathering.
