- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix Italian dressing, Worcestershire, seasonings, salt, and pepper in the bottom of a casserole dish.
- Place the chicken in the dish, turning to coat all sides with the dressing mixture.
- Nestle the garlic cloves around the chicken.
- Cover the chicken with the peppers.
- Place dish in the preheated oven and cook for about an hour, or until chicken is cooked through.
- After a half hour of cooking, I moved the peppers down into the sauce at the bottom and turned the chicken skin side up so that the skin could brown.
- Once chicken is cooked through, remove from oven.
- Place chicken on a plate along with peppers and garlic; reserve the sauce.
- Allow chicken to cool until you are able to touch it.
- Then shred the chicken into whatever size pieces you want.
- I left mine in larger chunks.
- I also cut the peppers and garlic down a little bit.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the oil.
- At the same time, bring a pot of water up to a boil.
- Add the chicken to the oil and at the same time add the pasta to the water.
- Be sure to liberally salt the water first and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
- Crisp up the chicken a little, about 2-3 minutes.
- Then add in the peppers, garlic, and reserved sauce.
- Add the tomatoes.
- Check seasoning.
- Allow sauce to simmer and thicken while pasta cooks.
- Drain pasta.
- Serve chicken sauce on top of the pasta.
- Enjoy!
