Chicken Tequila Fettuccine

"Here's a Southwest twist to chicken and fettuccine! This has an intriguing flavor and is a colorful entrée! I like to serve this with a mixed lettuce and fruit salad on the side and garlic bread. Originally from "Pleasures of the Good Earth", a cookbook I got in Sedona, Arizona."

  1. Have loved this recipe since the first time I had it in CPK - and this tastes exactly the same
     
  2. This recipe is fun to make and so delicious. My husband said it was restraunt quality.
     
  3. I have tried this recipe many, many times with great success everytime. It is good enough to serve to guests and fast enough to have during the work week. I will usually serve it with cornbread and a salad. A helpful tip is to buy chicken tenders. It will save you from having to cut the breasts. (I hate handling raw meat) If you aren't into hot foods, be sure to adjust the jalapeno accordingly since this recipe does have some kick!
