👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook pasta until flexible but not soft, about 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a stovetop- and oven-safe casserole dish over medium-high heat.

Cook and stir chicken strips until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add onion, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, olives, thyme, lemon zest, and pepper flakes.

Cook and stir until the onions have begun to look translucent, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat.

Stir in the half-cooked pasta.

Sprinkle Pecorino Romano and Grana Padano over the pasta mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and the cheeses have melted and browned, about 15 minutes.
