Ingredients
- 1 Pkg Bell & Evans Fajita Style Cut Chicken
- 2 Cups Bell & Evans Organic Chicken Bone Broth
- 1 lb Fettuccine pasta
- 1 TB Olive oil
- 1 Red onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 Orange bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 small Jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 3 TB Tequila
- 1 Lime, juiced, plus 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 TB Chopped fresh cilantro
Preparation
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and golden-brown, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer seared chicken to plate.
- In the same skillet, add onion and bell peppers, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5-8 minutes. Add jalapeno and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, tequila, lime juice and chili powder and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes. Add heavy cream and cook until sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Return chicken to skillet and pasta and toss to coat, about 1-2 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
- Tip: Substitute vodka or white rum for tequila.
