Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 lbs chicken tenders, cut into bite size chunks
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 oz goat cheese
1/4 - 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
12 oz penne pasta
salt and pepper
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-8 minutes. Add the pepper and cook another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the Italian herb mix, pepper flakes, and white wine/chicken broth. Let everything simmer for 2-3 minutes and then stir in the goat cheese. Toss in drained pasta. If the pasta is to dry, stir in pasta water, a little at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!

I have some leftover goat cheese in my fridge from our pizzas this weekend so I told my husband I would make something with it this week. This sounds wonderful - I love goat cheese over pasta....and the red peppers are perfect here, too!
Actually, I don't think I've ever eaten goat cheese. How can I be from Wisconsin and admit that?? I've got to try this. Looks like a perfect Friday night comfort food dish!
I adore goat's cheese too. This pasta is just my kind of meal. Hope you are well Jenn. Take care.
Goat cheese and I are not the best of friends. I can only tolerate it in the very very smallest of amounts. That's ok though, because it just leaves more for you, right?
P.S. I love everything else about this pasta though. I'll just have to sub in a different cheese. :P
I'm having a real problem with there being too many things I want to make. That's how we ended up with so many leftovers from last week. Okay, everyone, slow down! LOL
This is a really good idea. I've used it in pasta salads but never as a main course. This sounds delicious. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
It's the simple dishes, sometimes, that are the most beautiful - without too much complication, all the wonderful flavors get to shine ... :)
I like goat cheese in small doses... it's a bit strong for me. I have a feeling this pasta dish was fantastic!
I love a pasta salad with plenty of flavor and protein! This looks so good, Jenn! Great recipe.
Well don't you know it - I feel the same way about goat cheese... This looks DELISH!!

Boy, does that sound tasty! And I would love the texture of that sauce with the goat cheese.

This looks excellent, Jenn, I bet the sharp flavor of goat cheese livened this up.
