STEPS

1

In a medium saucepan, sauté the cilantro, garlic and jalapeno peppers in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, tequila, and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until reduced to a paste-like consistency. Set aside.

2

Pour soy sauce over the chicken and set aside for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, sauté the onion and red, green, and yellow bell peppers with the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring occasionally.

3

Cook the fettuccini according to the package directions while you prepare the chicken and vegetables.

4

When the bell peppers have wilted, add the chicken and soy sauce. Toss and add the reserved tequila/lime paste and cream. Bring to a boil. Gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick.

5

Toss the sauce with the well-drained fettuccini and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.
