This was taken off the Taste of Home website. It is a family favorite and has been made MANY times. It is so deliciously rich, thick, and flavorful. You can take out the cayenne pepper if you need to for your kids to be able to eat it, and I think it's just as good. :) My dad doesn't agree with me though. He thinks it's better with Cayenne pepper. It takes about 25 minutes to prep the meal.
- 6 ounces uncooked fettuccine
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the chicken, onion, salt and cayenne in butter until chicken is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended.
- Gradually add the half-and-half, peas and cheese. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Drain fettuccine; toss with chicken mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
This is a picture from their website as well, and it really is just amazing! And as you can see, it's actually quite healthy as well!! :)
