This was a quick fix that everyone loved. What I liked the best about this is the chicken didn't get lost in the sauce. I browned the chicken and before serving, cut it onto bite sized pieces and mixed it together with the fettuccini. I found it served up easy and displayed nicely.

This was fantastic! Nice flavor, beautiful presentation. Just the right balance to the seasonings. Sauce was perfect. Thanks for a great recipe.

Inez has done it again. I knew this one would be great as her reputation proceedes her. Once I see the Inez Willenborg band wagon loading, I have to jump on! Sauce was light and not overpowering as some fettuccini sauces are. We enjoyed the addition of the red pepper. Didn't change a thing, although added a bit of salt. Thanks for another fantastic meal, Inez!
