CHICKEN PASTA DIVAN

Steps:

• Boil the water and cook the pasta according to package directions. DO NOT ever add oil to the water! It will make your sauce slide off the pasta later.
• Meanwhile heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
• Cut chicken breasts into strips. Put flour in a plastic bag, add a little salt, pepper and garlic powder to your taste and shake the strips in there to coat.
• Add the coated chicken strips to the hot skillet and brown.
• Turn burner down to medium-low and add the cream, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, mustard and butter. Cook about 5 minutes.
• Add cheese and wine and stir gently until the cheese melts. When melted, pour over pasta and mix to combine. Serve with a big loaf of Italian bread.
