Sante Fe Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add diced sweet onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced sweet bell peppers and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine with Marinara

   Pour the chipotle marinara sauce over the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare the Fettuccine

   While the sauce simmers, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Make Creamy Cilantro Sauce

   In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with freshly chopped cilantro. Gradually add a few tablespoons of water to reach desired creamy consistency.

6. 6

   Combine Everything

   Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet with the marinara sauce. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat everything evenly. Serve with a drizzle of the creamy cilantro sauce on top.
