Olive Garden's Chicken Scampi

One of my favorite dishes from Olive Garden is their chicken scampi. The other day my mom and me went and ate there and of course chicken scampi is what I ordered. It looked pretty easy to make so when I got home I starting researching different recipes and seeing what they all had in common. Well....pasta, bell peppers and chicken was all that was in common. Some fried their chicken with a thick breading while others grilled. Some used white wine or cream. They all differed so I put all the good things together and came up with my own. 
Chicken Scampi
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
Italian seasoning
Olive oil
Heavy cream
Chicken broth
2 bell peppers
1 large purple onion
Lots of garlic
Angel hair pasta
I seasoned my chicken with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and fried it in some olive oil. Then when it was done I removed it and put in my veggies and sautéed them a minute or two bc I like mine crunchy. Then I put in a cup of broth and maybe a half to 3/4 cup of cream. Bring to a simmer and add back your chicken. Then serve over your pasta. BAM that's it! And it was delish and my kiddos and hubby ate it. Another A+ for the recipe book!
