My Version of Blackened Chicken Pasta

Marsha D.'s Note:

This is a recipe that my dearest brother gave me a few years ago and I have added my own touch of spice to it. If you like garlic I believe you will enjoy this meal. It is a meal in itself all you need is some garlic bread or sticks!

So yummy! The only thing that would've made it better is if there had NOT been a bone in my chicken! Yikes!! Oh yeah, and I fried the peppers and onions and added cream cheese to the sauce, 'cause I got that idea from another recipe. Oh, and health food is just not for me! Haha! ;0) Thanks for the great recipe! We'll definitely make this again! Steaming the chicken, btw, was a really good idea. I never did that before. Thanks!! Love, Meg
