Chicken Riggies II

By: LOVES TO COOK 
"This Riggie recipe simmers chicken breast in tomato sauce, cream, sherry, shallots, garlic and sweet peppers, and serves it all over hot, cooked rigatoni pasta - of course. Thus the name, Chicken Riggies! This recipe makes them beg for more; my husband hounds me to make this for him!"
