California Pizza Kitchens Tequila Chicken Pasta Recipe


California Pizza Kitchens Tequila Chicken Pasta Recipe
From the California Pizza Kitchen, out of one of my favorite restaurant recipes cookbooks. Easy to adjust with your favorites, such as kalmata olives or mushrooms. I serve with a salad of mixed greens and lime vinegrette dressing.

When's dinner?


This sounds wonderful. Thanks



WOW! I just need to keep the tequila around the house. LOL


This sounds good. Is there a substitute you can use for the tequila. We never buy it and it wouldn't be worth it for 2 tbsps.
