Boil pasta to al dente; drain; set aside.
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels; cut into slices.
Wash bell peppers; remove tops, seeds and membranes, discard. Cut bell peppers into slices. Peel and slice onion.
Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken; cook until no pink is visible; remove chicken to a platter; set aside. Add bell pepper slices and onion; cook until onion is translucent.
Place chicken back in the pot; add seasonings; stir until evenly coated. Add milk and penne pasta; stir constantly to prevent any pasta from sticking. Be careful not to get this too hot because the milk will not curdle.
Cook about 3- 5 minutes until pasta is warm and milk has reduced to a thick sauce, coating the pasta. Add cheese; stir until melted.
Serve hot.
3-5 servings.
