FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

By

‘This recipe is one of our favourite mains, and it’s also great for
company! We cook it up an hour or two early, keeping it warm in
the crockpot, and add the sour cream and tomato when it’s time to
serve. What could be easier than that?’- Henry stam
