This has fettuccini tossed with sauteed chicken, mushrooms, onions, red and green peppers and a spicy, tomato creole sauce. It is an amazing combination of flavors, you'll be full long before you've had enough.

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup butter
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 white onion, sliced and quartered (1 cup)
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium tomatoes, chopped
4 -6 mushrooms, sliced (1 1/4 cup)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
12 ounces fettuccine
2 teaspoons parsley, fresh is preferred

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tbs butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the bell peppers, onions and garlic in the butter for 8-10 minutes until softened slightly. If you like your veggies blackened in this type of dish, like I do, give them a couple more minutes until the edges start to turn black.
  • While the veggies are cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces.
  • Prepare a medium size pan over high heat with the olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
  • When the vegetables are softened or blackened to your liking, add the chicken to the pan.
  • Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken stock, 1/4 tsp salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper and thyme and simmer for 10-12 minutes until thickened. If you like your sauce a little thicker, just add 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch to a couple tablespoons of the liquid from the saucepan. Stir until smooth, remove pan from heat and whisk in cornstarch/sauce mixture, then put back on the heat.
  • While the sauce is simmering, prepare fettucini according to package directions and serve sauce over plated noodles. Sprinkle a little parsley over each serving to complete.

I'm not a huge fan of Cajun food, but this dish was surprisingly good! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
