Chicken Riggi... what's that? Chicken riggies or Utica Riggies is an Italian American pasta dish which came into existence somewhere in the Utica-Rome area of New York State. There are plenty of varieties out there and that's good.
Every cook has to be brainy in their own
way. Some versions this dish add hot and or sweet peppers to the spicy
creamy and tomato sauce which is poured over ... Rigatoni, of course!
You will need for this dish: chicken breasts (1 per guest), 1-2 pkgs. of Rigatoni or Penne (dependent on number of guests), one whole onion, one or two good size sweet red peppers along with heavy cream, butter, chicken stock and Italian herbs.
To begin, chop one whole onion along
with the red pepper and saute gently in olive oil in a large deep
skillet. Cut the chicken breasts into chunks and add to the onion/pepper
mix. Once the chicken meat is white, add 4 tbs of butter, 1 cup of
heavy cream and 1/4 cup of stock. Toss in a hefty dash of dried Italian
herbs and let simmer while you boil the pasta.
