Quantity Ingredient
12 ounces Fettuccine, uncooked
12 ounces Boneless chicken breasts (skinless)

Directions

Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain.

In a large skillet, cook chicken in Italian dressing and water over medium-high heat until cooked through. Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the onions and bouillon cube. Cook until onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Drain and reserve liquid. Puree the onions with margarine and ½ cup of the reserved liquid in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss with pasta.

In a medium non-stick saute pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and saute until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Arrange pasta on a platter and top with chicken and bell pepper. Toss lightly. Garnish with parsley and serve.
