Hacienda-Style Chicken Fettuccini Fernando image

I LOVED this dish that a local Mexican restaurant back in Indiana called the "Hacienda" used to serve, until they changed chefs, and it was AWFUL! So, I went home and came up with my own, (better!), version! At least in MHO!! It's like a Mexican-Style Fettucini Alfredo. REALLY good!! Photo by Caroline Cooks

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into large bite-sized chunks or strips
1 small onion cut into thin wedges and separated
1 red bell pepper, julienned thinly
2 Tbl. butter
2 Tbl. vegetable or olive oil
pinch each salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. cumin

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, but the chicken was cooked well.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and watery, and the chicken was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
