Chicken Taco Fettuccine

Submitted by Chef shapeweaver

"I found this recipe in the Jan/Feb.2007 "Simple and Delicious" cooking magazine. It was submitted by Carey Judy of Paris, Tennessee. This recipe calls for cubed cooked chicken, but I'm pretty sure that shredded would work just as well. For the taco seasoning, I used Recipe#105993 (way better than store bought). To make a complete meal, serve with your favorite green salad and garlic bread. Submitted to "Zaar" on January 6th, 2007."

This was sooooo good. But, better than that, it was sooooo easy and quick. I sauted chicken tenders, removed them to a plate, made the sauce and then returned the tenders to the pan and warmed through. A number 1 recipe. Thanks!

We liked this, it was a nice change of pace. I was thinking it might be good with a little frozen corn near the end of the pasta cooking and maybe sauted onion along with the chicken and garlic. I used evaporated milk instead of the cream, because it's what I had. Yum.

Great, fast recipe! I made it pretty much the same except I doubled the pasta, chicken and garlic. I actually quadrupled the sauce and it was absolutely delicious. I was surprised at how fast this was and how tasty! This definitely earns a repeat!@
