Ingredients

• 2 packages (9 ounces each) refrigerated fettuccine
• 1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 jar (6 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

Preparation

Step 1

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute chicken in oil until no longer pink. Add mushrooms and onion; saute 2-3 minutes longer or until onion is tender.

Sprinkle with flour; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and chilies. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until thickened.

Drain fettuccine; toss with butter. Serve with chicken mixture; sprinkle with cheese if desired. Yield: 5 servings.
