Rigatoni with Roasted Chicken & Sweet Peppers

1/2 lb rigatoni, cooked & drained
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 roasted chicken (to save time, pick up a roasted chicken from Publix Deli, or you could substitute canned chicken meat.)
1 TBS chopped garlic
1/2 red sweet pepper, julienned (to save time here, you could sub the pre-cut zucchini from Publix & change the recipe name to Chicken & Zucchini!)
1/2 yellow sweet pepper, julienned
3 TBS basil, chopped
salt to taste
crushed red pepper to taste
romano cheese, grated (or parmesan)

Remove the skin from the chicken & debone the meat.
Cut the meat into julienne strips (or tear it apart!).
Heat the olive oil in a large pan.
Add the peppers and cook about 7min until softened.
Add all of the ingredients except the cheese; saute for 2 min.
Add the pasta & toss.
Serve with the cheese.

Serves 4.
