With precooked chicken this makes a wonderful and quick weeknight meal. The recipe was reduced to serve 2. Being the garlic lover I am, I added 2 cloves of minced garlic. In place of roasted red peppers, I tossed in a handful of reconstituted sun dried tomatoes that were coarsely chopped for color and sprinkled freshly grated Parmesan cheese over all at serving time along with ground black pepper. A very delicious meal served with steamed vegetables on the side.

Excellent and so very easy! I added some sliced mushrooms, and used peppadews to add that touch of colour and piquancy. We all loved this dish, even my younger daughter who is a little picky! I had used my packet of spinach fettucine, so I had to resort to tri-colore bowtie pasta, very nice. Thank you loof, we really enjoyed this, made for PRMR tag game.

Like others who made & reviewed this recipe, I decided to add a clove of garlic & also included the roasted red pepper & increased the chicken to 2 generous cups! Very, very nice tasting dish that way & this is certainly a recipe I'll be keeping around! [Tagged, made & reviewed n Zaar Stars tag]

I used regular fresh spaghetti, as that was what was available, plus I am allergic to spinach. I added about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and a little bit of the cooking water, salt pepper and a good pinch of red pepper flakes. The chicken separates from the pasta and floats around the side of the pot...there is no such thing as incorporating it into the pasta. It is what it is....a very simple dish, uncomplicated dish. I wish I had read the other comments first, as adding the garlic would have given it a good (and needed) punch!! I would do this one again as I need good easy recipes to go to while recuperating from surgery

I had gotten some fresh spinach fettuccine pasta from one of our favorite venders at the farmers market. I couldn't wait to use it, so when I spotted this recipe I thought it would be perfect. Unfortunately, neither DD or I cared for it. The sauce was good on the chicken, but we didn't care for it on the pasta at all. If I made this again I would just use the sauce on the chicken and save my fettuccine for another use.
