Deut.31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

16 oz. Penne Pasta

2 tbsp. olive oil, divided

2 Chicken Breasts cut or shredded

¼ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

½ c. Onion, diced

1/2 T Garlic, minced

1 Bell Pepper, long thin slices

1 c. Broccoli florets

1 c. Asparagus, chopped

1 c. Grape tomatoes

1/2 c Zesty Italian (add to finished dish and toss)

Cook your pasta and let it drain. Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until done and golden on all sides. Remove and let rest in a large bowl.

Add the remaining olive oil and begin sautéing the onions for 2 min. Add in the garlic and bell pepper and sauté another 2 minutes. Then toss in broccoli and asparagus saving the tomatoes until the very end.

When everything is cooked, combine the veggies with the chicken in your big bowl.

Sauce

2 tbsp. butter

2 tbsp. flour

2 c. half & half

1 T vodka

1/2 c. Parmesan cheese

Melt the butter over medium heat and add vodka. Whisk in the flour and stir, cooking 1-2 minutes. 

Slowly add in the half and half while stirring to prevent any clumps from forming.

When your sauce begins to thicken and bubble, turn off the heat and add in your cheese. Stir until melted.
