Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large red onion (finely sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1 pound chicken breast (each breast cut into thirds, or chicken tenders)
  • Pinch each of salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups cooked sweet peas (this is my addition, not part of the original recipe)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt

Instruction

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the red onion in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until the onion is soft and caramelized.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the chicken and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in.
  • Pour the reserved water back into the pot with the pasta, add the cooked peas and stir in the yogurt until the noodles are coated with the yogurt.
  • Add the chicken mixture to the pasta. Stir and serve.
