  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Peppers

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add peppers and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 4-6 minutes.

    Alternatively, reserve half the raw peppers for snacking/serving on the side.

  2. 2

    Add the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry.

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, chicken, savory seasoning, garlic and parsley seasoning, and 1/2 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until golden-brown and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Add the Peas and Pasta

    Add peas and pasta to hot pan. Stir occasionally until combined and heated through, 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Finish Dish

    Add pesto (to taste), creme fraiche, and cream base to hot pan. Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the pesto. Stir occasionally until combined and sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If too thick, add water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
