Chicken Pecan Fettuccine

"A delicious chicken in cream sauce over fettuccine with pecans sprinkled on top. I got this recipe at my grocery store and it is quick (25 minutes start to finish) and luscious. I don't buy chicken cut into tenders because it is more expensive. I just use 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 oz size). If you don't like mushrooms feel free to leave them out. Half of my family doesn't like them so I saute them separately for those who like them. This is perfect with broccoli Italiano."

  1. This is very quick to put together. I did add quite a bit more wine after adding the cream since it got very thick. It was quite plain so I added a bit of cajun seasoning. Love the crunch of the pecans. IMO this would not serve 6 sauce wise. I used maybe 3 ounces of linquine and there was just enough sauce with the added wine. Made for PAC Fall 2009

<p>I live in central Florida, near Disney World. I am a teacher (math), wife to Jason, and mommy to Jackson (age 12) and Alec (age 5). I am a big fan of southern food and an avid collector of cookbooks. I love to bake and am known for my cakes, cookies, and pies. <br />My favorite sound is the laughter of my children and my pet peeve is people who think they can't learn or try something new! <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
