Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry whole-wheat noodles
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
