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

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.

I've tried many chicken fettuccine recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of spices and the creamy sauce is just perfect.
