Ingredients

  • 6 ounces uncooked fettuccine
  • 1/2 pound cut-up boneless chicken breast for stir-fry
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups or 1 package (9 ounces) frozen whole green beans
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted* if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package.
  • 2
    While fettuccine is cooking, spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Cook chicken and salt in skillet 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is brown. Stir in frozen green beans. Cover and cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are crisp-tender.
  • 3
    Mix orange juice and cornstarch until smooth. Stir orange juice mixture, marmalade and cherries into chicken mixture. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and chicken is no longer pink in center. Add fettuccine to chicken mixture; toss. Sprinkle each serving with walnuts.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Bake nuts uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in a 350° oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
  • tip 2
    Boneless chicken breast for stir-fry is available in most larger grocery stores, but if you can't find it, cut boneless, skinless chicken breast halves into thin strips.
