About

We love a 30-minute meal, especially when there's pasta involved! Chicken & Veggie Fettuccine is on our monthly (sometimes weekly) rotation, because it's just so tasty and simple. By only dirtying two pieces of cookware, you can bring together some bouncy fettuccine noodles, a blend of tender veggies, a hunk of juicy chicken, and a delightfully creamy sauce for a fast feast that the family will favor! It's quick. It's easy. It's delicious. Chicken & Veggie Fettuccine has it all, which is why it's one of our forever-favorites!
