Chicken & Red Pepper Fettucini

I’ve always loved a good fettucini with white clam sauce, but I’ve never been able to find clams here in Peten, so decided the other day to make a similar dish with chicken and sweet red peppers.

Chicken and Red Pepper Fettucini

Ingredients

2 tbs. butter
1 large garlic clove ; minced
1 tsp. salt
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 pint cream
2 chicken breasts

1 small onion ; chopped

Instructions

Cook noodles as directed on package.
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and add the chopped onions and sweet pepper. Saute until vegies are wilting.

Slice chicken into small strips, and add to pan. Continue to saute until chicken is cooked through. Set aside.

For sauce, melt butter, add garlic clove, then add cream and parmesan. Blend well and cook till thickened.

Add chicken mixture to sauce.

Mix fettucini well with the chicken sauce mixture, top with a few chopped leaves of cilantro, and serve:

Verdict

Superb!! We both completely cleaned our plates.
