Grilled Chicken Fajita Fettuccine
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice (from About 2 Limes)
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Or Canola Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 3 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1/4-inch Strips
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 1 pound Fettuccine Noodles
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Or Canola Oil
- 1 whole Yellow Onion, Cut Into Half Moon Strips
- 8 ounces, weight White Button Mushrooms, Quartered Or Sliced
- 1 whole Green Pepper, Sliced Into Strips
- 1 whole Red Pepper, Sliced Into Thin Strips
- 4 ounces, weight Crumbled Feta Cheese (can Substitute Monterey Jack Or Cheddar)
- 1/4 cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
- Sour Cream For Garnish
- In a small bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together.
- Place the chicken strips in a Ziploc bag, pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag.
- Refrigerate and marinate for 4-8 hours.
- Grill the chicken strips until they are tender and cooked through (alternately, you could saute the chicken in a hot skillet to cook or broil in the oven).
- Set aside and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Start a large pot of water to boil.
- When boiling, add a tablespoon of salt and the fettuccine.
- Cook until the noodles are tender, according to package directions.
- Drain.
- While the water is heating and the noodles are boiling, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the 1 tablespoon oil and add the onions.
- Cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms begin to give off their liquid and start to brown (by now, the onions should be nearly finished cooking).
- Add the bell peppers and saute until they are crisp tender.
- I like my bell peppers barely cooked so they retain their sweetness and crispness, but cook them however you like.
- Return the noodles to the pot and toss with the chicken, vegetables, half of the cheese and cilantro.
- Serve the pasta with a dollop of sour cream, if desired, the remaining cheese and additional cilantro.
- For a prettier presentation (rather than serving from the pot), after combining all the ingredients in the pot, dump the pasta onto a large serving platter or bowl.
