Ingredients
- 1/2 pound riganoti
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast or thighs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 5 hot pickled cherry peppers chopped

- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes 1 can
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Season the chicken with salt and pepper if desired and then cook for 5 minutes, turning to brown on each side. Remove the chicken and set it aside. The chicken won't be completely cooked, it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- Put a large pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil over high heat while you continue to make the sauce.
- Meanwhile, add the chopped bell pepper and onions to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes.
- Retun the chicken to the skillet, along with the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the hot pickled cherry peppers, salt, broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir to mix, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers add the rigatoni to the pot of boiling water and cook for the time indicated on the package, which is usually 10-14 minutes.
- Reduce the heat on the sauce burner to the lowest setting. Mix in the heavy cream, butterand Parmesan cheese. Cook 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the rigatoni is ready.
- Drained rigatoni, stir it into the sauce and serve.
- Garnished with sliced black olives, Parmesan cheese, basil or parsley, as desired.
