Spiced chicken simmered in a buttery tomato sauce and served on a bed of fettuccine. A wonderfully quick Italian meal for two.

This sounds good!


This sounds magnificent. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for posting.


Chicken, pasta, garlic and herbs what's not to like


I like this recipe, but only with butter. Did you know that Oleo, as margarine as then called, was originally developed to fatten turkeys. They died. What's not to like about this recipe? Good procedures and basil and onions. I think some Jasmine rice would also work. Tasty!


Rice is always nice.


Oh this sounds wonderful and am going to try it very soon maybe even tonight if my chicken will thaw by then :) Thanks so much for posting.
