CHICKEN TACO FETTUCCINE



Chicken Taco Fettuccine image

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.
