Cheesy Chicken Pepper Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
    2 red bell peppers, sliced
    2 cups milk
    1/2 cup butter
    16 ounces shredded Muenster cheese
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 pound linguine pasta
Preparation
    In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and add chicken; saute until it begins to turn golden brown. Add red bell peppers and cook until they become limp; cover and simmer.
    In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine milk, butter, cheese and garlic; stir constantly for about 10 minutes to avoid burning. Sauce should now have a thickened sauce-like consistency; if not, add cornstarch in 1 teaspoon increments until desired consistency is reached.
    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
    Once the sauce is complete, combine it with the chicken and peppers mixture; add garlic powder to taste.
    Pour sauce over hot pasta; serve.
