chicken and bows

This recipe is from Simple and Delicious, and this recipe is just that. I usually half this recipe, but I should make the whole recipe and freeze half of it next time. 

chicken and bows

1 package (16oz.) bow tie pasta

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 cup chopped sweet red pepper

1/4 cup butter, cubed

2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

2 cups frozen peas

1-1/2 cups milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2/3 cups grated parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in large skillet, cook chicken and red pepper in butter over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. 

Stir in the soup, peas, milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Drain pasta; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat.
