Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 box Chicken Helper™ fettuccine Alfredo
  • 1 tablespoon margarine or butter
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, cut into thin strips
  • 1 medium green or red bell pepper, cut into thin bite-size strips
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 3/4 cup tomato pasta sauce
  • 3 cups cubed deli rotisserie chicken (from 2- to 2 1/2-lb chicken)

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat 3 cups water to boiling. Stir in pasta (from Chicken Helper box). Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Drain; cover to keep warm.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion and bell pepper; cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from skillet.
  • 3
    In same skillet, mix milk, sauce mix (from Chicken Helper box), Italian seasoning, paprika and ground red pepper. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
  • 4
    Reduce heat. Cook uncovered 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato pasta sauce, vegetables and chicken. Cook uncovered about 3 minutes longer or until thoroughly heated. Serve over pasta.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can use uncooked chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie chicken. After removing vegetables from skillet, melt 2 tablespoons margarine or butter in skillet; carefully add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Cook over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until outsides turn white. Beginning with step 3, continue with recipe as written—except omit rotisserie chicken.
  • tip 2
    Kick up the heat by serving with hot pepper sauce—each person can choose their own heat level!
