In this recipe, the chicken is first cooked in the skillet along with onions, garlic and spices. Then, the fettuccine is cooked in the skillet until it is the desired doneness. The result is a creamy, delicious and hearty pasta dish. What I love most about this dish is that it is “one-pot”. If you’re like me and pressed for time, it is very convenient to have a full meal all cooked in one skillet.
