Chicken with Fettuccine

This was the first recipe I made and reviewed for this months recipe swap on Zaar, it was very good, the sauce is excellent. It is easy to make, not at all time consuming with wonderful end results. I did serve mine over garlic and spinach tagliatelle which paired really well. If you want to see the original recipe or other recipes by this chef please click here.
