- If using both chicken and shrimp, decrease amounts to 1/2 lb of each.
- Add chicken first, cook until almost done, then add shrimp, to prevent shrimp from overcooking.
- Increase heat to high, and add 1/2 to 3/4 of the chicken broth and sprinkle with parsley.
- Allow broth to heat through, check for seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Pour over cooked fettucini or linguini, stir well, and serve with a slice of warm garlic bread and a tossed salad.
