Tonight I'm making chicken and pasta using chicken breasts, garlic, bacon, mushrooms, green onions, Cajun seasoning with a bit of butter and olive oil and some chicken broth.. Have never used Parmesan but I'm sure it would be wonderful...it's cheese! And the addition of bell peppers is something I'm going to do tonight! Served over angel hair pasta.

The first thing I thought of when I saw chicken, peppers, and provolone was Rachael Ray's Chicken Cacciatore Subs. I know you didn't mention mushrooms, but I'm sure you'd be fine without them as long as you have some tomatoes lying around. I looove these sandwiches, and was thinking how I need to make them again soon.

Chicken Cacciatore Subs
Rachael Ray

Ingredients

* 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breast, 6 to 8 ounces each
* Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus 2 tablespoons
* Grill seasoning blend, or salt and pepper
* 4 sub rolls, split
* 2 cloves garlic, cracked away from skins
* 1 teaspoon red crushed pepper flakes
* 2 large portobello mushroom caps, sliced
* 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
* 1 large onion, white or brown skinned, sliced
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/3 palm full
* 1/2 cup dry red wine or stock -- chicken or beef flavor
* 1 (14-ounce) can, crushed tomatoes
* 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
* 1/3 pound deli sliced provolone

Directions

Heat a grill pan or large skillet. Drizzle chicken with oil, to cover,and season with grill seasoning blend or salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry 6 minutes on each side.

Heat broiler, lightly toast rolls on cookie sheet and remove.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, mushrooms, peppers, onions and oregano. Saute veggies and season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, then deglaze the pan with wine or stock. Pick up tasty bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or heat safe spatula. Add tomatoes and parsley to the sauce. Slice chicken breasts on an angle and set into sauce. Pile chicken and veggies into sub rolls and cover with sliced provolone. Melt cheese under hot broiler. Serve.

These ingredients make me think of a quick smothered chicken. Pound chicken out to even thickness. Cook bacon slices until crisp. Remove. Cook chicken in same pan. Remove. Saute peppers and onions until crisp tender--throw in chopped garlic at last minute and stir until fragrant. Top chicken with bacon slices, veggies, then a slice of provolone. Put lid on and melt cheese. Eat!
