Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the coconut milk. Stir well to combine with the chicken and vegetables.

Step 6

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
