Pine Nut and Chicken Pasta image

Here's a delicious and colorful chicken entrcée that's quick to fix and has an oriental twist. I sometimes add some diced jalapeño pepper to this to "kick it up" a bit! It's good served with a chilled white wine, side salad and breadsticks. Originally printed on a package of pine nuts.

This recipe is a crime against Italian cuisine. It should be banned from all cookbooks.

I'm surprised this recipe has any positive reviews. It's the worst pasta dish I've ever had.

The chicken was a little dry. I would cook it for less time next time.

The sauce was too thin for my liking. I would add more flour or cornstarch next time to thicken it up.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I would add more garlic and herbs next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pine nuts, so I substituted chopped walnuts instead. It was still very good.
