Cut chicken into thin bite-size strips; set aside. In a 12-inch skillet cook sausage for 5 minutes, stirring to brown on all sides. Remove from skillet, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. In same skillet cook chicken for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned; remove from skillet. Cook sweet peppers and onion wedges in remaining drippings for 3 minutes. Return sausage and chicken to skillet; add undrained tomatoes, wine, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir cornstarch into tomato juice or water; stir into skillet. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly; cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
To Freeze: Freeze in freezer safe container
To Reheat: Reheat in covered pot or microwave. Serve over pasta.

This was okay, but has potential. It was flavorful but the sauce was too watery to stick to the noodles. I think trying tomato paste instead of tomato juice, or maybe making the 'Angel Hair Pasta with Red Sauce' sauce, which has a lot of peppers in it. It would complement this dish.

Flavor was very good, but agree it was too watery for the noodles...maybe better over rice or definitely add tomato paste or something to thicken up the sauce if putting over noodles. We should try it again with some modifications.

My family really likes this dish! I have served it 2 different ways. Once over angelhair pasta, and once over penne pasta. I have found that the penne pasta works best, as the larger noodles soaked up any extra liquid. When I prepared this dish, I used a spinach and roasted red pepper chicken sausage, and the can of diced tomatoes had green chilies in it. These 2 changes added a little extra flavor.
