I have always loved chicken and fettuccine. It’s my favorite combination that never fails to impress everyone. And with this recipe, you’ll get both plus the impressive and irresistible creamy roasted pepper sauce. Dare to try this winner chicken fettuccine, and I’m pretty sure that this will become your newest favorite pasta and chicken dish! This simple recipe is also excellent, even without the chicken. Or you can swap chicken with shrimp and sausage, and it’ll be equally amazing!
