Chicken and Pasta Diablo

In this recipe, the sweet ingredients offset the heat of the peppers, and since everything goes into one skillet, there is less to clean. Another good short-cut is to use pre-cooked chicken so you can add it as quickly as the rest of the ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fettuccine

Instructions

  • Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions until al dente. Meanwhile, continue with the recipe.
