Steps

  • 2
    While fettucine is cooking, heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken and garlic in oil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center; remove from heat.

    Stir dressing, cheese and basil into chicken. Toss with fettucine and vegetables.
